Shefali Jariwala Passes Away at 42: Paras Chhabra’s Podcast Prediction Resurfaces, Sparks Online Discussion

In a deeply saddening development, actress and dancer Shefali Jariwala, fondly remembered as the Kaanta Laga girl, passed away at the age of 42 on June 27. The sudden nature of her death left fans and the entertainment world stunned, especially considering her active lifestyle and consistent focus on fitness.

Following the news, an old video clip from a 2024 podcast episode featuring Paras Chhabra began making rounds on social media. In the clip, Chhabra—Shefali’s former co-contestant from Bigg Boss 13—spoke in detail about her astrological chart, raising concerns about health issues.

During his “Abraa ka Dabra Show”, Paras pointed to a rare planetary combination in Shefali’s birth chart. He explained that the 8th House, often associated with transformation, mystery, and sudden life events, showed a conjunction of Moon, Ketu, and Mercury—an alignment that astrologers consider sensitive.

Chhabra mentioned, “The Moon-Ketu conjunction can indicate mental unrest, and with Mercury added, it could point to neurological issues or anxiety.” He also advised her to seek peace through spiritual means, suggesting visits to mountain retreats, Mata Rani temples, and Jyotirlingas whenever she felt overwhelmed.

Shefali had previously shared her health struggles, revealing that she was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 15 but had remained seizure-free for over two decades due to dedicated treatment, lifestyle changes, and meditation.

Final Goodbye

On June 28, Shefali’s husband, actor Parag Tyagi, performed her last rites at Oshiwara Crematorium in Mumbai. The emotional farewell was attended by several celebrities from the television and music industries, including Sunidhi Chauhan, Shehnaaz Gill, and Rashami Desai.

According to initial reports, Shefali was rushed to the hospital after a sudden collapse, but doctors declared her dead on arrival. While a heart attack has been mentioned as a possible cause, the exact reason remains unconfirmed at this time.

As fans mourn the loss of a vibrant and beloved personality, the resurfaced podcast has sparked reflection on astrology, wellness, and the unpredictability of life.
