Shefali Jariwala, the actress who rose to fame with the "Kaanta Laga" remix video and later appeared in Bigg Boss 13, has died at the age of 42. She reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest on the night of June 27th. Despite being rushed to the hospital by her husband, Parag Tyagi, and three others, she could not be revived. The news of her sudden demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry.

Jariwala unexpectedly became a prominent figure in early 2000s Indian pop culture after being spotted outside her college. Shefali's career took off with the iconic music video 'Kaanta Laga' in 2002, which became a massive hit. She also appeared in the film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi starring Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. However, she didn't feature in many projects after the music video.

In a 2021 interview, Shefali revealed that she had an epilepsy seizure at the age of 15, which affected her career choices. She explained that the pressure to perform well in her studies, stress, and anxiety could lead to seizures. Shefali recounted experiencing seizures in various places, including classrooms, backstage, and on roads, which lowered her self-esteem. She added that this was the reason she could not take up much work after 'Kanta Laga,' as she suffered from epilepsy for 15 years and couldn't predict when the next seizure would occur.

Shefali was known for her outspoken personality and strong presence on social media. Over the years, she became an advocate for mental health awareness and women's empowerment.

The receptionist at the hospital confirmed that Shefali Jariwala passed away on June 27th due to cardiac arrest. According to reports, she was declared dead on arrival at Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Andheri.
