No anti-ageing medication. Husband Parag Tyagi breaks silence on Shefali Jariwala's last moments before death

Shefali Jariwala’s sudden death on June 27, 2025, left the entire nation stunned. Known as the Kaanta Laga girl, her passing at the age of 42 came as a complete shock. Initial reports suggested a cardiac arrest, but no official cause of death was ever confirmed. Since then, speculation and questions have continued to make rounds on the internet. Now, nearly three months later, her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, has finally opened up and revealed in detail what exactly happened on the night she died.

What happened the night Shefali Jariwala died?

In a video uploaded to YouTube on a channel dedicated to Shefali’s memory, Parag revisited that tragic night. Holding back tears, he shared how he had a strange feeling that something wasn’t right. He stepped out in the evening to walk their pets, and that’s when he received a distressing call from home, Shefali was struggling to breathe.


Rushing back, Parag found her nearly unresponsive. He recalled how her body had started to give up. She managed a couple of breaths, and he tried CPR to revive her. For a brief moment, it seemed like she might come back, she even let out a sound, but the hope faded quickly. According to him, signs like the absence of corneal movement indicated things were far more serious. He admitted that the entire situation escalated so fast that he could barely comprehend what was happening in real time.

On denying anti-ageing medication claims

Apart from reliving that painful night, Parag also took the opportunity to address several rumours circulating about Shefali’s death, particularly claims that she had taken anti-ageing medicines on an empty stomach. He shut down these as misleading and incomplete. He clarified that Shefali didn’t take any unknown or harmful pills. Instead, she opted for monthly IV drips containing multivitamins, Vitamin C, collagen, and glutathione, all commonly used supplements.


Parag further explained that these drips were her way of maintaining overall health because she would often forget to take oral supplements. He stated that these were not anti-ageing medicines as people had assumed, and there was nothing unusual or dangerous about what she was taking.

Contrary to some reports, Parag made it clear that Shefali had eaten on the day she passed away. She observed a fast for religious reasons earlier in the day but had food after completing her pooja. She rested, ate again later, and was in her usual routine before the IV was administered at night.


He also responded to accusations suggesting that Shefali was extremely strict with her diet. On the contrary, Parag shared that she had a balanced approach, enjoying food like ice cream or Chinese dishes a couple of times a week. She didn’t deny herself, he said, and her youthful appearance was the result of discipline, exercise, and self-care, not extreme fasting or harmful treatments.

Parag believes many of the false stories likely originated from vague assumptions or unverified sources and urged people to stop spreading misinformation. He said he’s speaking now not just to defend Shefali, but also to find peace and closure.

For the unversed, Shefali Jariwala first rose to fame with the 2002 chartbuster music video Kaanta Laga. Over the years, she remained in the public eye through appearances in reality shows like Nach Baliye and Bigg Boss 13. Her sudden departure has left a lasting void in the hearts of her fans and loved ones.
