The sudden demise of actress and model Shefali Jariwala on June 27 has prompted an ongoing police investigation, now pivoting toward her medical history and the treatments she received on the day of her death. The 42-year-old, popularly known for her appearance in the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga, collapsed at her Mumbai residence and was rushed to Bellevue Multispecialty Hospital in Andheri by her husband, actor Parag Tyagi. She was declared dead on arrival.In a recent development, Jariwala's friend and fellow actor Pooja Ghai confirmed in an interview that Shefali had taken a Vitamin C IV drip earlier that day. Ghai, speaking to the media, stated that while the use of such drips is fairly common, especially post-COVID, the police had summoned the provider who administered the IV to verify the medication involved. She noted that the revelation about the drip emerged only after authorities questioned the individual at the scene.Investigators have now turned their attention to Shefali's long-term use of anti-ageing treatments. Reports indicate she had been receiving glutathione and other anti-ageing infusions for nearly a decade. On the day of her death, she had reportedly fasted due to a religious ceremony at home but still proceeded with her monthly anti-ageing injection in the afternoon. This combination of fasting and medical treatment is now being evaluated as a potential factor in her fatal cardiac arrest.According to Pooja Ghai, Shefali appeared fine after dinner and had asked her husband to walk their dog. However, minutes later, their domestic help called Parag back, saying Shefali was feeling unwell. Parag reportedly waited briefly for the help to return with the dog before rushing upstairs. Upon reaching their apartment, he found Shefali unconscious but with a faint pulse. She was unresponsive, and despite being taken to the hospital immediately, she could not be revived.Though cardiac arrest is suspected, the official cause of death remains pending until postmortem results are reviewed. Authorities are examining the contents of the IV drip, the substances involved in her anti-ageing regimen, and whether they could have triggered a fatal reaction—especially in the absence of food.The police have recorded statements and continue to gather details from those involved in administering her treatments. Meanwhile, Shefali's family and friends gathered for her cremation at Oshiwara Hindu Crematorium on June 28 to pay their final respects.Shefali rose to fame with the viral success of Kaanta Laga and went on to appear in films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. She also featured in television reality shows such as Bigg Boss 13 and Nach Baliye 5.
