Shefali Jariwala's close friend Paras Chhabra shares the emotional aftermath for Parag Tyagi after her demise: 'His mental state...'
The actor shared, 'Shefali and Parag were very close to their pet. He was a family member to them. Three members were living together in a house, and one of them is suddenly gone. In such a situation, you should understand Parag's mental state. He would want to keep him even closer and very close to his heart. There is a sense of fear and longing at the same time. People might think it's strange, but since I know them closely, I understood his psychology. Moreover, their pet has grown old and cannot see properly. So, Parag's responsibility towards him increases even more.' Watch the viral video:

The 'Bigg Boss 13' finalist also stated that the pet seemed to sense Shefali's absence. 'Dogs are very sensitive—they can feel when something is wrong. The pet also knew that Shefali is no more. He was visibly sad and affected by her passing.'
A video of Parag Tyagi walking his dog just hours after Shefali Jariwala's passing quickly went viral online. The clip sparked widespread backlash on social media, with many users criticizing his actions during such a sensitive time.
Actress Rashami Desai took to social media to slam the trolls and urged people to show kindness and empathy during this difficult period. The 'Dil Se Dil Tak' actress wrote, 'Aree bhaiya, let's spread kindness and compassion instead of judgment! Simba was more than just a pet—he was Shefali's beloved son. Her sudden passing leaves a huge void, and I urge the media to respect the family's grief and give them space during this difficult time. Let's show empathy and understanding, not sensationalism.'
Shefali Jariwala, best remembered for her iconic appearance in the song 'Kaanta Laga' and her stint on 'Bigg Boss 13,' passed away on June 27 at the age of 42.
She was declared dead soon after being rushed to the hospital.

Massive blow to Saif Ali Khan, family, in Rs 15,000 crore ancestral Bhopal property case, after High Court verdict
In a major turn of events concerning one of Bhopal's most prolonged legal battles over royal inheritance, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has overturned a 20-year-old decision issued by a trial court. This decision breathes new life into a case involving the descendants of the former Nawab of Bhopal , Mohammad Hamidullah Khan—notably actor Saif Ali Khan , his sisters Soha and Saba, and their mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore. Legal Basis Challenged by the High Court According to a report from IANS, the earlier trial court judgment had leaned heavily on a precedent set by the Allahabad High Court in the Talat Fatima Hasan case. That precedent has since been struck down by the Supreme Court in 2020, which clarified that personal property of former royals must follow personal succession laws rather than be treated as political inheritance determined solely by appointments to titular positions. Because the trial court's decision had drawn extensively from this now-defunct legal reasoning, the High Court concluded that the earlier verdict could no longer stand. Under the authority granted by Order 14 Rule 23A of the Civil Procedure Code, the case was remanded for a full retrial, offering all concerned parties a chance to present their claims again under current legal standards. Property Claims Span Generations The conflict traces its roots back to 1999, when two civil suits were initiated seeking division, possession, and detailed accounting of the royal family's ancestral assets. These assets include several lavish properties, both within and beyond Bhopal. The petitioners argued that upon Nawab Hamidullah Khan's death in 1960, his wealth—classified as personal property—should have passed equally to his legal heirs under the principles of Muslim Personal Law . They opposed the claim that all the wealth should go solely to his daughter, Begum Sajida Sultan. However, the Indian government had declared Sajida Sultan as the exclusive heir through a formal communication dated January 10, 1962. This recognition was anchored in the Bhopal Merger Agreement of 1949 and supported by Article 366(22) of the Indian Constitution. In defense, it was maintained that according to the traditions of royal succession and the terms laid out in the merger, all personal property should go to the appointed successor to the Gaddi, or royal throne, and not be distributed among other descendants. Court Urges Swift Disposal of Retrial Noting that the case has already lingered for over 20 years, the High Court instructed the lower court to handle the retrial with urgency, aiming to wrap up the proceedings within a year. The case has reignited public interest in one of India's most fabled princely dynasties, where longstanding traditions, constitutional provisions, and religious laws are colliding in the battle for inheritance. New Complications Arise With 'Enemy Property' Classification Saif Ali Khan's legal entanglements deepened when the High Court dismissed his objection to a government initiative that categorized a portion of his family's properties in Bhopal—collectively estimated to be worth Rs 15,000 crore—as "enemy property." This categorization stems from a 2014 notification issued by the Custodian of Enemy Property Department. The government cited the Enemy Property Act to assert control over several prime assets, arguing that these estates belong to individuals who migrated to Pakistan after Partition. Properties affected include Saif's childhood residence, Flag Staff House, as well as the Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, Dar-Us-Salam, Bungalow of Habibi, Ahmedabad Palace, and the Kohefiza Property. In 2015, Saif managed to secure a temporary stay against this declaration from the High Court. However, the court lifted that stay on December 13, 2024. In its latest ruling, the court granted the family a 30-day window to submit their claims and reassert ownership—but no applications were filed during this period. A Royal Lineage Under Scrutiny The original Nawab, Hamidullah Khan, had three daughters. One of them, Abida Sultan, migrated to Pakistan, while the other two, including Sajida Sultan—Saif's grandmother—remained in India. The government's claim over the properties hinges on the fact that one sibling moved to Pakistan, thus branding the estate as enemy property. Saif's family has contested this logic, arguing that inheritance should have followed the lineage that remained in India. Saif Ali Khan's Career Continues Amid Legal Drama While the courtroom developments unfold, Saif Ali Khan continues to focus on his film career. He was last seen in the Netflix project Jewel Thief and is currently preparing for the next installment of the action-thriller franchise Race 4. Additionally, he is set to share the screen with Akshay Kumar in an upcoming film titled Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan.

Bhushan Kumar Used Pressure Tactics To Lift Ban From Diljit Dosanjh For Border 2?
Last Updated: Amid backlash for Diljit Dosanjh for working with Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, FWICE had written a letter to Bhushan Kumar, urging him to remove the actor from Border 2. FWICE has lifted its ban on Diljit Dosanjh, allowing him to work for the film 'Border-2'. The federation also stated that the restriction will remain in place for other projects and Diljit has been granted permission to work specifically on ' Border 2 '. During an exclusive conversation with IANS, FWICE president B N Tiwari revealed if 'Border 2' makers, T-series, pressurised them to lift the ban from Diljit. Speaking to IANS, Tiwari said, 'If considering a request is pressure, then it can be called that. We have good relations with T-series. We visited them four times and warned them that they could not continue with the shoot, but they kept on asking us for a chance. They were unable to find a different combination of artists for their film. When they showed their incapability, it was our duty to come up with a solution as it was our country's money at stake." The FWICE President further informed that the producer of 'Border 2" had written a letter requesting them to let Diljit be a part of the movie. He also disclosed that the makers urged them to let Diljit be a part of the movie as a majority part of the shoot had already been completed, and it would have been difficult for them to find another combination of actors for the war drama. The makers also informed them that they had already filmed most of the action sequences, and hence, replacing Diljit would be extremely difficult. Amidst backlash for Diljit for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3" FWICE had written a letter to Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta, Nidhi Dutta, and Anurag Singh, urging them to remove Diljit from the sequel. 'The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), representing the core workforce of the Indian film and television industry, is deeply disappointed and concerned by the casting of actor-singer Mr. Diljit Dosanjh in your upcoming film Border 2 produced under the banner of JP Films in collaboration with T-Series and directed by Mr. Anurag Singh. By choosing to collaborate with an artist who has so brazenly ignored the ongoing tensions and national sentiment, your production has directly undermined the stand taken by the Indian film industry in solidarity with the nation," the letter read.
