The video, now widely shared on Instagram, also includes a note from the prayer meet's invite that read: 'Some stars shine too brightly to ever fade — even after they're gone, their light remains."
Shefali's close friend Pooja Ghai, in a heartfelt conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani, opened up about the actor's final moments. 'Her eyes weren't opening and there was a heaviness in her body," she recalled. 'Parag must've sensed something was very wrong and rushed her to the hospital… but she was already gone before reaching Bellevue."
Shefali Jariwala was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital on June 27 by her husband, following what is believed to be a sudden cardiac arrest. Sadly, she was declared dead on arrival. The Mumbai Police have since sent her body for a post-mortem to determine the precise cause of death.
In the days following her passing, visuals from her final rites at the Oshiwara crematorium and subsequent asthi visarjan have surfaced. In one particularly emotional video, Parag Tyagi is seen holding back tears as he carries Shefali's ashes to the sea—an intimate glimpse into the depth of his loss.
As tributes continue to pour in, Shefali Jariwala is remembered not just as a performer, but as a radiant soul whose legacy will endure far beyond the screen.

Just like the previous seasons, season four of the beloved web series 'Panchayat' has managed to strike a chord with the audience. Adding to the buzz, the makers, Prime Video shared glimpses of the new photoshoot of the 'Panchayat' cast on social media. However, ditching the rural ensemble this time, it is Pickleball season in Phuelra. Set against the backdrop of a tennis court, the photoshoot has Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Sanvikaa, Chandan Roy, Faisal Malik, Durgesh Kumar, and Ashok Pathak in athletic wear, sweatbands, and visors.

'It's incredible how Panchayat has resonated with everyone — children, young adults, elders — across villages, cities, and even overseas.

Putting his finger on the reason for the success of the series, Raghuvir stated, 'At first, I couldn't quite put my finger on what made it so special.

Aishwarya Khare Steps Back From Social Media Following Bhagya Lakshmi's End: 'Need To Breathe'
Last Updated: After Bhagya Lakshmi ended its successful 3+ year run on TV, actress Aishwarya Khare has decided to take a break from social media to focus on herself and her loved ones. After winning hearts as Lakshmi in Bhagya Lakshmi for over three years, Aishwarya Khare has now decided to hit pause—not just on her work commitments but also on social media. The beloved television star, known for her grace and emotive performances, announced a digital detox shortly after the curtain came down on her long-running show on June 29. The actress, who became a household name with Bhagya Lakshmi, shared that this break is her way of stepping back to focus on what truly matters—her well-being and family. In a candid statement to Pinkvilla, Aishwarya said, 'Taking a step back to breathe, reconnect with my loved ones, and prioritise my well-being. The constant hustle has been beautiful, but a short break from the digital world feels much needed. See you soon, with more energy and gratitude!" With over a million followers on Instagram, Aishwarya has kept fans engaged through regular updates from her personal life and behind-the-scenes moments on the set. Her feed has long been a blend of family warmth, festive celebrations, and her bond with co-stars, particularly with Rohit Suchanti, who played Rishi opposite her in the show. Their on-screen chemistry had fans swooning, while their off-screen camaraderie only deepened that affection. Bhagya Lakshmi, which premiered in August 2021, concluded after a successful run of nearly four years—an impressive feat in today's fast-changing television landscape. Besides Aishwarya and Rohit, the show featured a strong ensemble cast including Parull Chaudhary, Neena Cheema, and Uday Tikekar in pivotal roles. Before this, Aishwarya was seen in shows like Saam Daam Dand Bhed and Yeh Hai Chahatein, further cementing her reputation as one of the most consistent and admired faces on Indian television. As Aishwarya takes time off the grid, fans have flooded her timeline with love, support, and wishes for a restful break. It's not goodbye—it's just 'see you soon," with a little more peace and perspective. First Published:
