Parag Tyagi on late wife Shefali Jariwala: ‘She's the kind of woman any man would want as a wife'
Actress Shefali Jariwala passed away, leaving her fans and friends in shock. She reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest late on June 27, 2025, at the age of 42. As per reports, her husband, Parag Tyagi, along with three others, rushed her to the hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival. Later that night, Parag was seen heartbroken, struggling to hold back his tears as he headed home from the hospital. Following the news of her sudden demise, fans have been turning back the pages and reminiscing about her film career and also looking back at her sweet love story with husband, Parag Tyagi. Shefali Jariwala was born and raised in Mumbai. After finishing her studies, she stepped into the entertainment industry and rose to fame with the hit pop song 'Kaanta Laga' in the early 2000s. Around the same time, she married music director Harmeet Singh from the popular duo Meet Brothers in 2004. However, their relationship didn't last, and they separated in 2009. The end of her first marriage left Shefali emotionally cautious, and she wasn't sure if she would be able to fall in love again. Despite her initial doubts about finding love again, destiny had different plans as she met Parag Tyagi at a party. Known for his roles in Pavitra Rishta and Jodhaa Akbar, Parag connected with Shefali through simple, everyday conversations that slowly grew into a warm friendship. At first, she was hesitant to open up, but Parag's calm, caring, and respectful nature helped break down her walls. He supported her through difficult times, never rushed their bond, and made her feel truly valued. With time, their friendship blossomed into a deep and beautiful love story. While the world saw the actress' glamorous side, it was Parag who looked beyond that and fell for the real Shefali, a kind, grounded, and loving person. What touched him even more was her warmth and affection toward his family. Her genuine care won his heart, and soon after, the couple got engaged. In an interview with Masala, Parag once shared, "Shefali is a sweetheart. When her music video was out, people had another image of her, but she was completely the opposite of her screen image. She is a girl any guy would love to have as a wife. She is very caring, and it shows. To judge a person, you need to look into what is happening in his or her home. She loves her parents and looks after them like a son would. She also looks after my parents. " Shefali and Parag's Journey Together Shefali and Parag got married on August 12, 2014, after delaying their wedding due to the actor's father's health issues. During that tough time, she stood firmly by Parag's side and even brought his parents to Mumbai and took care of them like her own. Over the years, their love and partnership were clear in everything they did—whether it was their social media posts, public appearances, or interviews. From celebrating festivals to staying fit together, they were often seen as a couple who truly supported one another.
