Parag Tyagi is grieving the death of his wife and actor Shefali Jariwala. The actress, famously known as the Kaanta Laga girl, died on 27 June. It was reported that the cause of her death could be cardiac arrest. The news of her death shocked many. Her husband, Parag, ever since has been sharing posts on Instagram to express his love for her.
On Thursday, Parag took to his Instagram handle to share pictures of their hands together with the song “Mere haath mein tera haath ho”. While some pictures featured the hands of the couple, others also included the paw of their pet dog Simba. Sharing the post, Parag wrote in caption: “Together Forever.”
A week ago, days after Shefali’s death, Parag took to his Instaram handle to share a picture of the actress and wrote, “Shefali, Meri Pari — the ever-eternal Kaanta Laga — was so much more than what met the eye. She was fire wrapped in grace — sharp, focused, and fiercely driven. A woman who lived with intention, nurturing her career, her mind, her body, and her soul with quiet strength and unwavering determination.”
After praising her, he added, “In the chaos of grief, it’s easy to be swept away by noise and speculation.”
In another post, Parag shared a montage made of their pictures from various occasions. In the pictures, he could be seen kissing her with love. Sharing the post, he wrote, “Pari, I will find you every time you are born and I will love you in every lifetime. I love you eternally meri gundi meri chokri.” The post caught the attention of actor Varun Dhawan, who dropped hearts in the comments section.
Parag was also seen completing the rituals along with their pet Simba. Sharing a video of distributing food to the needy, Parag wrote, “Simba is Hail & Hearty and doing all the rituals to be done by a son for his mom. This video is for all those wonderful people who were really concerned about our baby Simba because of some heartless people spreading false news about our baby Simba’s health just to garner few likes and views. I would like to thank everyone who are really concerned about simba.”

This post was in the light to quash the rumours that suggested their pet was unwell post Shefali’s death.
Shefali met Parag at a dinner party hosted by their mutual friend. Her meeting with Parag was an arranged date by their friends. They hit it off together soon after their first meeting with Parag expressing his desire to marry her on the sets of Nach Baliye in 2012. In 2014, they tied the knot.
Before Parag, Shefali was married to musician Harmeet Singh. However, that marriage ended in divorce with Shefali accusing him of physical assault. Harmeet Singh is one half of the celebrated musician duo Meet Brothers.
