The entertainment industry and her countless fans are in deep shock and mourning following the sudden demise of actress Shefali Jariwala, who passed away on Friday, June 27, 2025, at the age of 42. Known affectionately as the "Kaanta Laga" girl who became an overnight sensation with the iconic music video, Shefali's untimely departure has left a void that will be deeply felt.

Initial reports indicate that Shefali suffered a cardiac arrest at her Mumbai residence. Her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, rushed her to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital, but sadly, she was declared dead upon arrival. While the exact cause of death is pending the full post-mortem report, the news has sparked a wider conversation about heart health, even among seemingly young and active individuals.


Shefali Jariwala first captivated audiences with her bold and energetic performance in the 2002 remix of "Kaanta Laga." The music video became a cultural phenomenon, making her a household name across India. Beyond her breakthrough music video, Shefali also showcased her vibrant personality and dance prowess on reality television shows like "Nach Baliye" and, more recently, "Bigg Boss 13," where she was a popular and much-loved contestant. Her journey on "Bigg Boss 13" particularly endeared her to a new generation of fans, who admired her strong opinions and genuine friendships, notably with the late Sidharth Shukla.

While Shefali had stepped away from the daily grind of television after her marriage to Parag Tyagi in 2014, she remained an active and cherished presence on social media, regularly sharing glimpses into her life, travels, and glamorous photoshoots. Just days before her passing, she had shared stunning pictures, exuding her characteristic confidence and radiance.

Tributes have poured in from across the industry, with friends, colleagues, and fans expressing their grief and disbelief. Many have remembered her for her infectious smile, grace, and indomitable spirit. Her passing serves as a stark reminder of life's unpredictability and the importance of cherishing every moment.

Shefali Jariwala's light may have been extinguished too soon, but her legacy as the "Kaanta Laga" girl and a truly vibrant personality will live on in the hearts of those who admired her. Our deepest condolences go out to her husband Parag Tyagi, her family, and her friends during this incredibly difficult time. May her soul rest in peace/
