The sudden death of Shefali Jariwala, the actress and dancer best known for her "Kaanta Laga" music video, at the age of 42, has prompted an outpouring of grief and shock from fans and the entertainment industry. Amidst this mourning, an old video of Shefali dancing with Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw has resurfaced and gone viral, drawing renewed attention.
Shefali Jariwala passed away on June 27, 2025, reportedly due to a heart attack. While she maintained a health-conscious lifestyle and had been seizure-free for two decades after battling epilepsy as a teenager, the exact cause of her death remains unclear. Her untimely demise has left many in disbelief.
The resurfaced video captures Shefali Jariwala dancing with cricketer Prithvi Shaw at his 25th birthday celebration on November 9, 2024. The clip shows a lighthearted and cheerful atmosphere, with Shefali, Prithvi Shaw, her husband Parag Tyagi, and Shaw's rumored ex-girlfriend Nidhi Tapadia all enjoying the festivities. The friendly connection between the group is evident, with everyone dancing and celebrating together. The video, now widely shared as a tribute to Shefali, has taken on a more emotional tone in light of her passing.
Adding to the sense of unease, an old podcast featuring Shefali Jariwala has also resurfaced. In the August 2024 episode of the "Abraa ka Dabra Show," hosted by Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant Paras Chhabra, a detailed analysis of Shefali's horoscope was discussed. During the podcast, Paras Chhabra issued a startling warning based on the alignment of planets in her birth chart. He noted the presence of Moon, Mercury, and Ketu in her 8th house, a combination he deemed unfavorable. Chhabra explained that the 8th house represents loss, sudden death, hidden mysteries, and matters related to tantra, further stating that the combination of Moon and Ketu is considered one of the worst. He suggested that this planetary alignment could indicate anxiety and neurological problems. Chhabra recommended that Shefali visit spiritual places and natural landscapes to mitigate these potential issues.
The resurfacing of this podcast, with its predictions of health risks and "sudden demise," has added another layer of shock and grief to the news of Shefali Jariwala's death. However, it is important to note that Shefali Jariwala was known for maintaining a disciplined and wellness-focused life.
Shefali Jariwala rose to fame with the 2002 music video "Kaanta Laga". She also appeared in the film "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi".
