Actor Shefali Jariwala passed away on Friday night in Mumbai at 42. While her initial post-mortem reports have been inconclusive, several reports stated that her cause of death was a cardiac arrest. Later, it was said that it was some anti-ageing medicines were also found at her home, and her friend Pooja Ghai revealed the actress had taken a Vitamin C drip on the day she passed away.
While the matter is still being investigated, we visited Shefali Jariwala’s old interview with Paras Chhabra, where she spoke about anti-ageing treatments, using botox and fitness.
Declaring that she was pro-skin treatments, Shefali had said, “I am blessed with good genetics, and I also look after myself, working out is very important. I have been doing that for 20 years, and that is paying off now. I do yoga because of epilepsy. I don’t have any bad habits, I don’t eat fried food, I don’t drink alcohol. If yoga and workout are done together and correctly, it has lots of benefits.”
“I, of course, go to a skin doctor, I am pro-botox and skin treatments. Everybody wants to look good, so what’s wrong with it? People who can’t afford or are scared, think it’s wrong. It’s expensive, and painful. I have taken care of myself from before, so I have not needed anything. People should do what they like. We are born in this life as whatever we are. Next life, what if you are born as a cockroach or rat? Do what you like, be responsible about it, though. Doctors are like sculptures; they are artistic, so choose the correct artist,” Shefali added.
She had also spoken about her love story and relationship with husband Parag Tyagi. Shefali had said, “Parag and I met at a common friend’s party. He was very flattered to see me. He is a very fit guy, and I am into fitness, so I did notice him. But being a girl, I was not going to make the first move. He was so shy that he didn’t make the first move either. Later, my friend played cupid, we met for coffee, then dates, and eventually fell in love and went ahead with a live-in. We took permission from our parents, a man is very different as a boyfriend, you know a true person only when you live with him. Had I not lived with him, we would have broken up.”
Shefali’s last rites were conducted on Saturday, 28th June, at the Oshiwara crematorium in Mumbai.
