Shefali Jariwala passed away from cardiac arrest on June 27, 2025, in Mumbai. She was declared dead on arrival at Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital. Her husband, Parag Tyagi, was seen leaving the hospital, visibly shaken
Shefali reportedly met Parag at a friend’s dinner party following her divorce from Harmeet Singh. Although he fell in love instantly, she was cautious after her recent breakup. Gradually, she reciprocated, and they dated for nearly four years
The pair married in August 2014, after having dated since 2010. The marriage was reportedly set to take place earlier but was postponed due to complications with Parag’s parents’ health
Their celebrated bond was one built on faith, friendship, and mutual respect. The two appeared on various reality shows together, including seasons 5 and 7 of ‘Nach Baliye’. They remained happily married for over a decade
Since she was 15, Shefali battled epilepsy and depression, leading her to often openly speak out about adolescent mental health. She constantly credited Parag as a key support in overcoming her health struggles
Parag has opened up affectionately about his wife in the past, calling her “a sweetheart” and declaring that she was the kind of woman any man would be lucky to have as a wife
Shefali rose to fame for her appearance in the Kaanta Laga music video in 2002, and since then, her journey through fame has been one that leaves a legacy of strength, vision, and empathy. Her passing comes as a shock to many
