MUMBAI: The Indian entertainment industry is reeling from the heart-breaking news of actress and model Shefali Jariwala’s untimely demise.

The 40-year-old reportedly passed away following a sudden cardiac arrest, sending shockwaves across the nation. Best known for her unforgettable appearance in the early 2000s hit song Kaanta Laga, Shefali remained a cherished presence in both the music and television world.

As news of her passing spread, tributes began pouring in from across the industry. One of the most emotional responses came from Himanshi Khurana, Shefali’s former Bigg Boss 13 housemate and close friend.

Her words reflect a haunting reality Shefali is the second Bigg Boss 13 contestant to have passed away in recent years. Popular actor Sidharth Shukla, also a part of the same season, tragically died of cardiac arrest in 2021. The eerie coincidence has left fans and friends shaken.

What makes the loss even more poignant is that Shefali’s last post on X (formerly Twitter) was in remembrance of Sidharth Shukla. In a touching note, she wrote how much she missed him — a sentiment that now feels heartbreakingly prophetic.

At the time of writing, no official statement has been released by Shefali’s family or representatives. Her sudden departure has created a deep void in the hearts of fans and colleagues alike.
