Mumbai, Sep 6

Actor Parag Tyagi penned a note for his late wife Shefali Jariwala’s father’s birthday and said that he is always with him.

Parag took to Instagram to share a video from his father-in-law’s birthday celebrations, which featured a compilation of pictures. In one of the images, the late actress’ father is seen kissing the tattoo of Shefali that Parag has inked on his chest.

“Happy birthday dad from your Shefu #shefalijariwala . I am always with u dad. Love u dad so much. Your shefu @shivanijariwala19 @sunita.jariwala,” Parag wrote as the caption.

On September 3, Parag announced that his social media platforms, including Instagram and YouTube, will now be dedicated to his late wife Shefali Jariwala and her foundation.

Parag took to Instagram, where he shared the news.

“Coming very soon with Pari’s channel on YouTube. My Instagram and YouTube is dedicated to her and for her foundation #shefalijariwalarisefoundation. Any promotion and monetary coming from these are going to my Pari’s foundation,” Parag wrote.

He added: “We are so overwhelmed with all your love and blessings. Just keep loving us so we can fulfill her dream together. Love you all from us — me, Pari, and Simba,” Parag expressed.

Shefali passed away on June 27, 2025 due to a cardiac arrest. It was on August 19, when Parag announced the Shefali Jariwala Rise Foundation. He also has taken charge of kids' welfare and education through it.

Shefali Jariwala was widely known for her breakout performance in the iconic 2002 music video 'Kaanta Laga', passed away aged 42. Jariwala was reportedly rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital by her husband after she was found unresponsive.

Shefali Jariwala became a household name after appearing in the remixed music video 'Kaanta Laga', which dominated the Indian pop scene in the early 2000s. Her popularity earned her a role in Salman Khan's film 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', and she went on to star in the 2019 web series 'Baby Come Naa'.

She also participated in 'Bigg Boss 13' with her friend and ex-boyfriend, Sidharth Shukla, who tragically passed away under similar circumstances in his 40s.

Kaanta Laga was my childhood anthem! So tragic that we lost both Shefali and Sidharth Shukla so young. Heart conditions in young people need more awareness in India.

While the gestures are beautiful, I hope Parag is also taking care of his own mental health. Grieving publicly can be challenging. Wishing him strength on this difficult journey.

The father kissing the tattoo photo must be so emotional. In Indian families, these small gestures speak volumes about love and loss. Shefali's legacy continues through her foundation 🙏

So young to go! This is a reminder for all of us to get regular health checkups. Many in our generation ignore health until it's too late. Rest in peace Shefali 🌹
