Shefali Jariwala once revealed about her desire to adopt a baby girl: 'Nasib mein hoga humare ghar mein aana toh ayega'
Shefali's story was one of compassion, strength, and purpose. While her journey was tragically cut short, her words and intentions continue to echo, shedding light on a woman who believed in giving love selflessly. Shefali Jariwala will be remembered not only for her stardom but also for the kindness that defined her off-screen persona.
After the sudden and untimely demise of Shefali Jariwala, the industry is in deep shock and pain. Widely known for her iconic debut in the music video 'Kaanta Laga', Shefali captivated the audience right from the start. The graceful and impactful actress was also seen in Bigg Boss 13. However, besides her wide popularity because of her craft online, she was also known for breaking notions in her personal life- whether it was about spreading awareness about mental health, standing up for herself, and re-marrying, or her unrelenting desire to adopt a child and give them a home. Shefali's Unfulfilled Wish of Adopting a Baby Girl
Back in the day, Shefali Jariwala once opened up about her wish to adopt a child. She always wanted to adopt a baby girl. This wasn't a sudden thought; in fact, she was only 10 or 12 when she first got the idea of adoption in her mind. This desire stayed with her throughout her life. After marrying Parag Tyagi, she expressed this wish to him, and Parag wasn't initially onboard with the idea; however, later during her stint in Bigg Boss 13, Parag seriously considered this plan, and the duo wanted to extend their family. Parag said, 'You have to become a mother—whether you give birth or adopt, the choice is yours, and I'll stand by it.' Convincing Her Family Members
While her husband and his family showed unwavering support, Shefali's family members were not fully convinced of her idea of adoption. She revealed that some of her family members were not in alignment with her idea of adoption, but she believed that with time, they would understand and support her in the same way Parag did. Shefali was always of the belief that motherhood wasn't defined by biology, but rather by the love and bond that mattered more. 'I've always wanted to give a child a safe environment, good education, and a beautiful life. God has already blessed me with so much. I feel it's only right to share those blessings,' she had said.
In a recent podcast with her co-contestant Paras Chabbra, she said, 'Apne bachhon ko toh sab pyaar karte hai, bada vo hota hai jo kisi aur ka bacha apne ghar pe laye. She also stated that the decision to adopt a child is very big and strong, and everyone needs to be on the same page in the family to be able to further take that decision. 'For everybody to agree, it took a long time. Nasib mein hoga humare ghar mein aana toh ayega,' she had said. Adoption challenges in India
She also spoke about the challenges and complexities of the adoption process in India. She even stated that many couples lose hope halfway because of the elongated legal processes and paperwork. 'Adoption isn't easy in our country. There's a lot of paperwork, long waiting periods, and emotional challenges.'
In a throwback interview, Shefali also revealed that she was inspired by Sunny Leone's decision to adopt a baby girl. She even expressed this desire to her Rakhi brother, Hindustani Bahu, in Bigg Boss 13.
While Shefali's desire remained unfilled because of her untimely death, her openness about adopting a kid and thoughts on parenthood not being defined biologically spoke volumes.

Shefali Jariwala once revealed her father was against her modeling, asked her to reject 'Kaanta Laga': 'He comes from a traditional Gujurati family... he set a condition'
Shefali Jariwala, famed for 'Kaanta Laga,' initially faced parental opposition due to her conservative Gujarati family's emphasis on academics. She balanced her passion with a promise to complete her education, earning a Computer Engineering degree. Despite feeling trapped at times, she acknowledged the importance of her education in shaping her life. Shefali Jariwala's rise to stardom began with the iconic remix Kaanta Laga—but her journey to the spotlight wasn't as effortless as it seemed. Coming from a conservative Gujarati family where academics were non-negotiable, Shefali had to fight more than just stage fright to chase her dreams. As she once revealed, the song that made her an overnight star almost never happened—because her father wanted her to turn it down. In a past interview with Dainik Bhaskar, she revealed that her father was firmly opposed to her entering the world of glamour and showbiz. Coming from a conservative background, he believed academics should always come first—making Shefali's choice to pursue acting a bold and unconventional move. The actress shared that it was only after she promised to complete her education that her father agreed to let her take up Kaanta Laga. With her mother's support by her side, she pursued her passion while staying true to her commitment. Shefali went on to earn a degree in Computer Engineering from Sardar Patel Engineering College and even became an IT professional—proving she could balance both ambition and academics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo That decision turned out to be life-changing.
