Parag Tyagi on claims about Shefali Jariwala taking anti-ageing medicines: ‘She took multivitamins through IV drip’

Parag Tyagi has urged people to stop spreading misinformation regarding Shefali Jariwala's death, adding he doesn't know where this fasting story came from.

Actor Shefali Jariwala’s death in June this year left everyone in shock, with numerous reports suggesting that she had died after taking anti-ageing medicine on an empty stomach. Now, her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, has come forward to address these rumours, calling them “half-baked information.”

Parag Tyagi and Shefali Jariwala got married in 2015.

Parag breaks his silence

Parag spoke about losing Shefali and addressed the murmurs surrounding the cause of her death in a podcast posted on his YouTube channel, which goes by the name of Shefali Parag Tyagi.

Parag said, “This is half-baked information. I want to ask, which of these were anti-ageing medicines? Shefali didn’t want to take multivitamins daily as she would forget them, so she took them through IV drip once a month. These included multivitamin, Vitamin C, collagen, and glutathione, which is one of the best antioxidants.”

There were also claims that Shefali was fasting on the day of her death. Talking about the same, Parag shared, “She did fast that day, but she had food after performing pooja, then slept, and ate again later. It wasn’t like she didn’t eat at all.”

With it came to health and beauty, Parag stressed that Shefali relied on discipline and self-care, not anti-ageing treatments. He said she controlled her diet but never deprived herself. She would enjoy ice cream or Chinese food on Sundays, asserting that she lives a balanced life.

Parag went on to urge people to stop spreading misinformation, saying, “I don’t know where this fasting story came from. People just picked it up and spread it. I request everyone to find the truth before talking.”
