Shefali Jariwala's death had stunned film and television insiders, as well as her fans and the media. For a very long time, the audience could not grasp the fact that she had passed away, and soon, there was a lot of speculation about the cause of her untimely death. The initial rumours were of a beauty treatment gone wrong, which her husband, Parag Tyagi, later brushed off as utter rumours and speculation. Recently, Tyagi spoke about how he believes that his late wife, just before her sudden demise, had fallen prey to black magic.
In a conversation with Paras Chhabra for his podcast on YouTube, Parag openly claimed that he believes there was black magic performed on Shefali before she passed away. He spoke about how not only did he know this was done, but he was also very certain about the fact that Shefali was prey to black magic.
He said, "Bahut saare log nahi maante inn cheezon ko, but main bahut maanta hoon. Mujhe lagta nahi but pata hai hua hai... Jahan par bhagwan hai wahan shaitaan bhi hai. Aur pata hai log apne dukh se dukhi nahi hai, dusre ke sukh se duhkhi hai. Mujhe lagta nahi mujhe pata hai kisine kiya hai. Main ye nahi bol sakta kisne kiya, but kisine toh kiya hai (Many people don't believe in these things, but I strongly do. I don't just think it, I know it happened... Where there is God, there is also the devil. And you know, people aren't unhappy because of their own suffering, but because of others' happiness. I don't just think it, I know someone did it. I can't say who did it, but someone definitely did)."
Parag further added, "Mujhe mehsoos hota hai ke kuch toh gadbad hai. Ek baar nahi do baar hua hai aisa mehsoos, aur ek baar toh nikal gaye lekin iss baar thoda heavy rahi cheezein. I don't know, idea nahi kya cheez thi kya nahi... Main jab baitha hoon na bhakti mein mujhe mehsoos hojaat hai kuch toh gadbad hai... Main zyaada details mein nahi jaana chahunga, but mujhe unko touch samajh jaata tha ke bhai kuch toh gadbad hai. Iss baar kuch zyaada tha toh main thoda sa, pooja badha di thi. I know for 100 per cent kisi ne toh kiya hai (I feel like something is wrong. I've had this feeling not once, but twice, and the first time I managed to get through it, but this time things were a bit more intense. I don't know, I have no idea what it was... When I sit down for prayer, I get this feeling that something is wrong... I don't want to go into too many details, but I could sense from their touch that something was amiss. This time it was more intense, so I increased my prayers a bit. I know for 100 percent that someone did something)."
Shefali passed away on June 27 last year at the age of 42. As per reports, she had been rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital by her husband but was declared dead on arrival. Again, as per reports, she had passed away owing to a cardiac arrest. Right after the news of her death came out, there was speculation about the fact that she had taken anti-ageing medicine on an empty stomach.
