The sudden death of actress and model Shefali Jariwala, best known for her "Kaanta Laga" song, has prompted an investigation into the cause of her death. Jariwala, 42, was reportedly rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai on Friday night by her husband, Parag Tyagi, and three others. She was declared dead upon arrival. Initial reports suggested a cardiac arrest as the cause of death.

Following her death, Jariwala's body was taken to Cooper Hospital for a postmortem. According to police officials, the postmortem has been conducted, but the opinion on the cause of death has been reserved. A police official stated to PTI that based on preliminary information, it appears to be a natural death, and there was no foul play. The Mumbai police have registered an accidental death report (ADR).

The hospital issued a statement saying that the cause of death is still not clear. The statement indicated that Jariwala was brought to the hospital from Bellevue Hospital and was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. A post-mortem was conducted by government doctors. Doctors have reserved their opinion, and blood and viscera samples have been preserved for further forensic examination.

The police have recorded statements from her husband, Parag Tyagi, and possibly staff members at their residence. A police and forensics team also arrived at her Andheri residence to investigate the cause of her death.

Jariwala's friend told the media that the actor was 'absolutely fine' and had no medical issues. She was taken to the hospital on Friday night and was declared dead at 11:27 pm. Her friend also added that Shefali was actively doing her events and shows and used to travel quite often for work both out of India and in the country too.

While the family has not disclosed the reason behind her death, it is believed that she died of a cardiac arrest. However, a close friend has addressed rumours that epilepsy was the cause of her death, stating that Shefali never had a blockage and passed away due to cardiac arrest. In an old interview, Jariwala had discussed suffering from seizures while growing up and shared her struggle with anxiety and stress. She revealed that she had an epileptic seizure at the age of 15 and was under tremendous pressure to do well in her studies.

The last rites were performed at Oshiwara crematorium. Her husband, Parag Tyagi, was seen visibly heartbroken.
