I remember her from Nach Baliye - she had such amazing energy on stage. Gone too soon. This makes me want to get a full health checkup immediately.

While I appreciate celebs speaking up, where were these voices when common people face similar media intrusion during tragedies? Selective outrage much?

Cardiac arrest at such young age is alarming. Our generation needs to cut down on stress, junk food and prioritize health. RIP Shefali ji.
