'Thinking of you today': Shefali Jariwala's last Twitter post was a heartfelt tribute to ex-boyfriend Sidharth Shukla
The sudden death of actor and dancer Shefali Jariwala on Friday shocked fans and the industry. The 42-year-old reportedly died after suffering cardiac arrest. Her social media was flooded with shocked messages from fans, who saw that her last post was just three days ago. The actor had even performed very recently in Goa. However, her last post on Twitter (now X) was several months ago, and ironically, it was in memory of another Bigg Boss 13 contestant who died young - Sidharth Shukla. Shefali Jariwala and Sidharth Shukla dated in the late 2000s. Shefali Jariwala was more active on Instagram than on Twitter. On the latter, her last post was in September 2024. It was a picture of her hugging Sidharth Shukla on the sets of Bigg Boss 13. "Thinking of you today mere dost @sidharth_shukla," Shefali wrote in the post, dated September 2, 2024, the third death anniversary of the actor. Sidharth Shukla was the winner of Bigg Boss 13. The actor died in September 2021 at the age of 40 after suffering a heart attack, just like Shefali. Shefali and Sidharth had dated over 15 years ago, when they were both working on TV. The two remained friends even after their breakup. In a 2020 interview with BollywoodLife, Shefali had said, "Both of us are very logical people. Also, we have similar interests, we would talk about travel, space, bullet trains and whatnot. Even after we stopped dating, we were always cordial whenever we bumped into each other." Shefali Jariwala's death Shefali Jariwala rose to fame in the early 2000s with the viral hit Kaanta Laga. She worked in several movies and TV shows, but the song remained her claim to fame. On Friday, she was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai, but doctors reportedly declared her dead upon arrival. The cause of her death remains unclear, though some sources suggest that she may have suffered a cardiac arrest. Her family has yet to issue an official statement regarding the circumstances of her passing. Mumbai Police sources have confirmed the news of her death. "Actress Shefali Jariwala has passed away at the age of 42. Her body was found at her residence in the Andheri area of Mumbai," a police source said, adding that the body was found at her residence in Andheri.

Shefali Jariwala, best remembered for her unforgettable appearance in the iconic 2002 music video ' Kaanta Laga ' and as a popular contestant in Bigg Boss 13, has tragically passed away at just 42 years of age. Late on the night of June 27, 2025, Shefali reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Despite immediate efforts by her husband, Parag Tyagi , and three other companions to get her to Bellevue Multispecialty Hospital in Mumbai, doctors declared her dead upon arrival. The shocking and unexpected loss has left the entertainment world and her devoted fans grieving deeply. Parag, her life partner of over a decade, was seen visibly shattered outside the hospital, struggling to come to terms with the heartbreaking tragedy. A Love Story Born from Second Chances As admirers try to cope with the sudden loss, many are remembering Shefali's heartwarming journey with her husband, Parag Tyagi. Their relationship has often been described as a testament to resilience, mutual understanding, and the strength of emotional healing. The two met at a gathering through mutual friends at a dinner party. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Binh Tri Dong B: Repossessed Houses For Sale At Prices That May Surprise You Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo "I was single at that time. It was an arranged sort of a date. We really liked each other a lot and hit it off instantly. Parag and I are very similar and different in many ways. I think we kind of balance each other out," she told Times Now. After period of courtship, they got married in 2014. Their relationship stood as a beautiful narrative of finding love again after a difficult past. A Painful Chapter Before New Beginnings Before she met Parag, Shefali had a previous marriage to musician Harmeet Singh, who is one-half of the celebrated musical duo Meet Brothers. The couple had tied the knot in 2004 but called it quits in 2009. During the legal proceedings of their divorce, Shefali reportedly accused Harmeet of subjecting her to domestic abuse. In earlier interviews with Times Now, she expressed how the absence of emotional respect and the presence of mental distress pushed her to take a difficult but necessary decision to end that chapter of her life. "It is very important to understand that you are not being appreciated. Not every kind of violence is physical. There is a lot of mental violence that also happens, and you are very unhappy in your life..." she told the publication. A Voice of Strength and Independence Shefali frequently spoke about the importance of self-reliance and mental well-being. According to Times Now , she credited her financial independence and upbringing for empowering her to walk away from an unhealthy relationship. She highlighted how societal expectations often deter people, especially women, from taking bold steps like divorce, but she was fortunate to be raised with the courage to prioritize her happiness over external judgment. From Music Videos to Reality TV Fame Following her early fame through Kaanta Laga, Shefali collaborated with the Meet Brothers on other projects, including the music video 'Pyaar Humein Kis Mod Pe Le Aaya'. Over the years, she reinvented her presence in the entertainment world, gaining renewed popularity through her stint in Bigg Boss 13, where her honesty, charisma, and resilience won her a new generation of fans.

Shefali Jariwala was fighting epilepsy and depression at 15: The mental health crisis rarely spoken about
Shefali Jariwala, the iconic 'Kaanta Laga' girl and Bigg Boss 13 participant, tragically passed away from cardiac arrest on the night of June 27, 2025, in Mumbai at the age of 42. She was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival; her body was later taken to Cooper Hospital for a post-mortem. News of her sudden demise has left fans, friends, and the entertainment industry in shock, with many mourning the loss of her vibrant personality and contributions to pop culture. When most of us remember Shefali Jariwala, images of her storming the early 2000s pop scene with Kaanta Laga, exploding onto TV sets and reality shows, likely come to mind. What we may not realize is that behind her bold dance moves and confident persona lay a hidden battle that began in her teenage years—one with epilepsy and its shadowy companion, depression. Fight against epilepsy In a 2021 interview, Shefali revealed she had her first epileptic seizure at the tender age of 15, which flipped her life upside-down. The seizures struck in classrooms, backstage at events, even on the streets—always at inopportune moments. 'I had an epilepsy seizure at the age of 15. I remember at that time I was under tremendous pressure to do well in my studies. Stress and anxiety can lead to seizures. It's interrelated, you could get a seizure due to depression and vice versa," she told ETimes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo For years, Shefali walked the tightrope between performing and protecting her health. Becoming famous overnight with Kaanta Laga at age 20 should have been a dream come true—but the burden of unpredictable seizures stalked her backstage and on the streets. She often passed on opportunities because she feared her next episode would come at the wrong time. What is epilepsy and how is it related to depression? Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes a person to have repeated seizures. These seizures happen because of sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. Think of it like a power surge in your body's control room—your brain. Depending on where the surge happens, seizures can look very different: some people blank out for a few seconds, while others may have full-body convulsions. Now, here's the part people don't talk about enough—epilepsy isn't just about seizures. It messes with your emotions too. And that's where depression comes in. Living with epilepsy can be exhausting, mentally and emotionally. Imagine constantly worrying about when the next seizure might hit—at work, in public, while driving, or even while sleeping. That kind of uncertainty can eat away at your peace of mind. Over time, this chronic stress often turns into anxiety or depression. But it's not just the fear. The brain regions involved in epilepsy, especially the temporal lobe, also play a role in regulating mood. So when those areas are affected, it can directly mess with your emotional balance. Basically, epilepsy doesn't just zap your neurons—it can throw your mental health off-kilter too. Anti-seizure drugs may help control the condition, but they can also have mood-related side effects—fatigue, low motivation, even irritability. And that creates a tough cycle: you're managing your seizures but your mood tanks, which can make coping even harder. What many people don't realize is that depression in people with epilepsy is extremely common. And because the focus is usually on the seizures, the emotional struggles often go unnoticed or untreated. That's why it's important to look at epilepsy as a full-body, full-life condition. It's not just about treating seizures—it's about treating the whole person, mind included. Therapy, support groups, and antidepressants (when needed) can make a huge difference. And talking about it, like Shefali Jariwala did, helps break the stigma and reminds others: it's okay to ask for help—your mental health matters just as much as your physical one.
