The industry is in a deep state of shock following the tragic and unexpected death of Shefali Jariwala, the beloved Kaanta Laga girl in Bollywood. When her crumpled body was brought to the hospital on June 28, 2025, at approximately one in the morning, the Bigg Boss 13 actress was declared dead. Although the preliminary investigation suggests a cardiac arrest, the Mumbai Police are investigating the incident and have taken her remains for a postmortem. An old video from Shefali’s appearance on Paras Chhabra’s podcast, in which the latter alluded to her “sudden death” after reading her kundali, has surfaced amid the startling turn of events.
Shefali’s unexpected death has an uncanny resemblance to Paras Chhabra’s kundali reading:
A terrifying video of her Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant, Paras Chhabra, has reappeared online, driving fans into a frenzy as the entertainment industry reels from the news. The video, in which Paras performed a kundali (birth chart) reading for Shefali, went viral shortly after her passing. Surprisingly, Paras wrote that her reading suggested that “sudden death” would occur. He stated:
“Aapke 8th house mein chandra, buddh aur ketu baithe huye hain. Chandra and Ketu ka combination sabse bura hota hai. The 8th house also indicates loss, sudden death, fame, hidden mysteries, and tantric-related things, too. Aapke liye chandra aur ketu ka bura toh hai hi aur sath mein baith gaya hai buddh. This indicates anxiety and neurological problems.”
Paras also pointed out that the planetary alignment suggested “anxiety and neurological problems,” which is interesting. The clip was rendered much more unnerving by this disclosure and Shefali’s subsequent admission that she experienced epilepsy as a teenager. The actor-dancer proudly claimed in the podcast that she had been “20 years epilepsy-free” because to her regular therapy, lifestyle modifications, and meditation. As Shefali had said:
“My first seizure I got was when I was 15 in the tenth great. There are medications that treat this neurological disorder. You have to make certain lifestyle changes. Meditation and yoga help. You have to learn how to calm yourself. Today, I’m 20 years epilepsy free, and I spread a lot of awareness about it. You need medical treatment, and it can be cured.”
Industry laments Shefali Jariwala’s premature passing:
Shefali Jariwala died at the age of 42. Before the hospital confirmed her death, it was claimed that she had been discovered dead at her Mumbai home. The brilliant star’s unexpected death has shocked the entertainment industry, and condolences have been flooding in. Several celebrities, including Mika Singh, Rashami Desai, Paras Chhabra, and other Bigg Boss 13 contestants, paid their respects to the deceased actress. Tehseen Poonawalla, a politician and fellow flatmate, wrote incredulously:
“Absolutely stunned to hear my friend Shefali Jariwala is no more. I last met her at a party. Life is so short. She was in Bigg Boss 13 with me. Incredible how Siddharth Shukla and now she, from my season, are no more. Sending love and healing to her loved ones. Om Shanti.”
Fans of Bigg Boss 13 are devastated by Shefali Jariwala’s unexpected death, particularly in light of the tragic death of her co-contestant Sidharth Shukla in 2021 from a sudden cardiac event. To ascertain the precise cause of death, the police acknowledged that a post-mortem report is still pending.
