Parag spoke to the press after Shefali’s last rites on Saturday evening. He looked bereaved over her death as he requested people not to turn it into a ‘drama’. He said, “Mazak, drama mat banaiyega, main sabse request karta hoon (I request everyone not to turn this into a drama). Please pray for my pari (fairy/angel). Please pray for her peace. Please aap bandh kijiyega (Please stop this now).”

Shefali Jariwala shot to fame by starring in the remix of Kaanta Laga. She also appeared on reality TV shows like Nach Baliye and Bigg Boss. As per PTI, Shefali was brought to a hospital in Mumbai at around 11:15 pm on Friday. The doctor on duty had declared her dead on arrival.

While there were reports of the cause of death being cardiac arrest, the police told the press that they ‘reserve’ the cause of death. “The autopsy has been done, but the opinion on the cause of death has been reserved. Based on preliminary information, it appears to be a natural death, and there was no foul play,” the official said. As the cause of death is not yet clear, the Mumbai police have registered an accidental death report (ADR), he said.
