A sudden news has shaken the entire Bollywood and television industry. It has spread like wildfire on social media that Bigg Boss 13’s popular contestant and actress Shefali Jariwala has passed away. It is being told that 42-year-old Shefali suffered a heart attack last night and was immediately taken to the hospital, but sadly she had said goodbye to this world.
However, let us tell you that this news is absolutely false and baseless. Shefali Jariwala is healthy and safe. The news of her death is just a rumor which is being spread rapidly.
Fact Check: Shefali Jariwala is completely fine and the news of her death is just a rumor.
‘Kaanta Laga’ made her a star, then why did she stay away from the limelight?
Shefali Jariwala, whom we all know as the ‘Kaanta Laga’ girl, has made her mark in both Bollywood and television. At the age of just 20, she started her career with a music video and her first song ‘Kaanta Laga’ remix became a superhit overnight. This song gave her such fame that people started knowing her as ‘Kaanta Laga’ girl.
But even after such a huge success, why did Shefali suddenly stay away from work? Why did she not work in more projects? This question has always been in the minds of her fans.
She had this serious illness since the age of 15!
The reason for this was a disease, which she revealed years later in an interview. She told that due to this disease, she had kept away from work. Due to this, her confidence also decreased and she also became a victim of depression.
Shefali Jariwala used to have epileptic seizures
In an interview to Times of India, Shefali Jariwala said, “I started having epileptic seizures at the age of 15. I remember at that time I was under a lot of pressure to do well in my studies. Stress and anxiety can cause seizures. It is all interconnected; you can have seizures due to depression and there are many other reasons.”
Avoided work after ‘Kaanta Laga’
Shefali further said, “I used to have seizures in class, backstage, on the streets and anywhere, which made me very low in confidence. After ‘Kaanta Laga’ people used to ask me why I don’t work more? Now I can say that it was because of epileptic seizures that I was not able to work much. I did not know when the next seizure would come. This continued for 15 years.”
Also worked with Salman-Akshay
After becoming popular with the song ‘Kaanta Laga’, Shefali Jariwala also appeared in a small role in Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra starrer film ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’. Her presence in the film won the hearts of the audience. Apart from this, she has also caught the attention of the audience with her strong personality in Bigg Boss Season 13.
