In a deeply emotional revelation, Pooja Ghai, a close friend of the late actor Shefali Jariwala, has shared details about Shefali’s final moments before her untimely death at age 42. The Kaanta Laga fame actress passed away on June 27. According to Pooja, Shefali had been feeling unwell the night before and had taken her routine IV vitamin C drip, which she often used.
Ghai shared that Shefali had attended a peaceful Satyanarayan ki pooja the day prior and was in good spirits. However, soon after her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, stepped out briefly to walk their pet, he was alerted by a house help that Shefali wasn’t feeling well. Upon returning, Parag found Shefali unresponsive, though her pulse was faint. Despite rushing her to the hospital, doctors declared her dead on arrival.
“She had dinner, asked Parag to walk the dog, and within moments, her health suddenly deteriorated. It was heart-wrenching,” said Pooja. She also noted that Shefali’s mother experienced chest pain the same night, adding to the family’s trauma.
While the exact cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem, initial reports suggest a possible cardiac arrest triggered by a sudden drop in blood pressure, possibly due to fasting combined with IV medication.
Shefali Jariwala is survived by her husband, Parag Tyagi. Her unexpected passing has left fans and friends in deep shock.
