Shefali Jariwala's sudden demise at the age of 42 left all her admirers in shock. She passed away on the night of June 27, even before her husband Parag Tyagi could take her to the hospital. Days after her demise, Shefali's close friend Pooja Ghai spoke about her last moments.
Talking to journalist Vickey Lalwani, Pooja Ghai shared that there was a Satyanarayan Puja on Friday at Shefali and Parag's home. “But what I have understood from the family, from Parag, is that there was a beautiful Satyanarayan ki puja. In fact, the next day when we were allowed to enter the home to bring Shefali for the last rites, I realised that the whole house was decorated for the puja. So there was Satyanarayan ki puja at home and they did a beautiful puja setup.”
Pooja said that Shefali had dinner and then asked Parag to take their dog for a walk. “And the moment he went down, apparently he was called. The helper at home called him and said, ‘Didi is not feeling well.’ So she told him, ‘Could you just come up, take care of me?’ The dog is really old. And he told the helper, ‘I’ve just come down for a walk, so why don’t you come down, take him for a walk and I’ll come up.’”
