The Bigg Boss 13 contestant said that she was in college when she was offered a chance to do the music video. But her parents were against it. She somehow convinced her mother first and then they both took her father into confidence. She did the music video because she wanted to see herself on TV and was a paid job. She was paid a mere Rs 7,000 for the music video.

"I was in college then and I come from a family of academicians, so my parents told me to focus on my studies. But I wanted to do it because I was getting paid for it. I earned Rs 7,000 from that song, and I wanted to see myself on TV," Shefali Jariwala told TOI in an interview.

She further added, "My father was completely against it. So first, I took my mom into confidence and then, we both convinced my father. And that song turned out to be such a hit that it was like a fairytale for me. It changed my life completely."

The song turned out to be a fairytale and changed her life completely. She is now married to TV actor Parag Tyagi and the couple are now planning to adopt a baby.
