Shefali Jariwala Death cause: Anti‑Aging Injection, Fasting Trigger BP Drop and Cardiac Arrest
Shefali Jariwala Dies at 42 After Anti-Aging Injection While Fasting; Suffers Cardiac Arrest
Shefali Jariwala, widely known as the star of “Kaanta Laga” and as a contestant on Bigg Boss 13, has died at the age of 42 in her Mumbai residence. She was taken to the hospital late Friday night but was dead on arrival.
As reported by police and medical sources, Shefali fasted on June 27 for a religious ceremony called Satyanarayana Puja. In the afternoon, she received her usual anti‑aging injection as part of a lengthy beauty treatment that she had been taking for approximately five to six years.
Later that night, her blood pressure suddenly dropped sharply. She reportedly started trembling, lost herself, and then had a cardiac arrest.
While Shefali’s doctor had cleared her status by confirming she had no known heart disease, this sudden collapse has raised concerns for the safety of combining invasive treatments known to cause stress with fasting.
Medical literature indicates that anti-aging treatments are usually safe; however, significant drops in blood pressure, fainting spells, or heart rhythm disturbances (rarely) can happen, especially on an empty stomach.
Shefali was popularly known as the “Kaanta Laga Girl” after she became a star in 2002 in the music video Kaanta Laga. Later, she acted in films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and reality TV shows like Nach Baliye, which she participated in with husband Parag Tyagi, and Bigg Boss 13.
Her final post on Instagram, which she made only days before she died, was beautiful and read: “The time has come to live life in its fullness” – a caption that seems tragically prophetic.
Her husband, Parag Tyagi, was with her that evening. Her body was cremated on June 28, and her ashes were immersed according to her last wishes.
Mumbai police are still investigating, and they will wait for the final forensic report. Currently, authorities have made an accidental death report and have kept forensic experts engaged, simply to rule out other causes.
This tragedy clearly illustrates how individuals with no apparent health concerns can be susceptible to sudden health issues, especially considering the unique combination of long-term medical treatment, along with fasting or dietary changes.
While investigators look into what went wrong that night, many are hoping that her death will raise awareness about the proper use of medical treatments that, when mixed with fasting or dietary changes, could be found to be problematic.
