Yes, the reports are tragically true: Shefali Jariwala has passed away.
she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the night of June 27, 2025, and was rushed by her husband Parag Tyagi and others to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai, where she was declared dead on arrival. Her body was subsequently sent to Cooper Hospital for a post-mortem.
She was 42 years old, born on December 15, 1982, and gained fame from the music video “Kaanta Laga” as well as her appearances on reality shows like Bigg Boss 13.
Prior to her sudden passing, it was reported that she had been managing epilepsy for many years—having experienced seizures since she was 15—and in her final days she was active in fitness and believed to be in good health. However, some medical experts suggest that a seizure could trigger a cardiac arrhythmia, a possible mechanism behind sudden cardiac death in epilepsy cases (SUDEP).
News of her untimely demise has deeply affected fans and celebrities alike. Tributes poured in from colleagues such as Mika Singh, Himanshi Khurana, Bharti Singh, Aly Goni, Paras Chhabra, and others, all expressing shock, heartbreak, and disbelief.
