In a deeply emotional revelation, Pooja Gai, a close friend of the late actress Shefali Jariwala, opened up about the final hours before the heartbreaking news of her passing. Known for her iconic role in the music video Kaanta Laga, Shefali was reportedly in good health and showed no signs of distress leading up to the tragic incident.
Speaking in a recent interview, Pooja described Shefali as someone who was “extremely particular about her health, food, and fitness.” She recalled that just a day before, Shefali had taken part in a Satyanarayan Pooja at home, a sacred Hindu ritual often done for peace and prosperity. After the pooja, the family had dinner together, and everything seemed perfectly normal.
But what happened later that night took everyone by shock.
Pooja revealed that Shefali had asked her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, to take their elderly dog for a walk. While Parag stepped out, the house help called him, urgently informing that “Madam is not feeling well.” Thinking it might be something minor, Parag asked the helper to take the dog for the walk instead and rushed upstairs.
What he found was horrifying, Shefali was unconscious, her eyes wouldn’t open, but her pulse was still there. Parag immediately called for help, but it was already too late. The shock has left her family, friends, and fans numb with disbelief.
Adding another detail that has sparked conversation, Pooja confirmed that Shefali had taken a Vitamin C IV drip sometime before the incident, a common wellness trend used for energy and immunity boosts. While it’s unclear whether the drip had any role in what followed, investigations are still ongoing.
Shefali Jariwala’s sudden demise has left a void not only in the entertainment industry but also in the hearts of those who knew her personally. Described by her friend as “disciplined, spiritual, and full of life,” she was someone who believed in balanced living — making her passing even more devastating.
As fans pour in their tributes and colleagues share their grief online, one thing is clear, Shefali Jariwala may be gone, but her light, her laughter, and her legacy will always be remembered.
