Bollywood’s beloved Kaanta Laga girl, Shefali Jariwala’s sudden and unexpected demise has left the industry in a deep state of shock. The Bigg Boss 13 actress was announced dead at around 1 a.m. on June 28, 2025, when her collapsed body was taken to the hospital. While the initial investigation hints at a cardiac arrest, her body has been taken for a postmortem, and the Mumbai Police is looking into the matter. Amid the shocking turn of events, an old video has resurfaced from when Shefali joined Paras Chhabra in his podcast, where the latter hinted at her ‘sudden death’ after reading her kundali.
Paras Chhabra’s kundali reading bears eerie familiarity to Shefali’s sudden demise
As the entertainment world reels from the news, a spine-chilling clip of her Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant, Paras Chhabra, has resurfaced online, sending fans into a state of frenzy. Not long after her demise, the video went viral, where Paras conducted a kundali (birth chart) reading for Shefali. Shockingly, Paras noted that her reading indicated the possibility of ‘sudden death.’ He said:
“Aapke 8th house mein chandra, buddh aur ketu baithe huye hain. Chandra and Ketu ka combination sabse bura hota hai. The 8th house also indicates loss, sudden death, fame, hidden mysteries, and tantric-related things, too. Aapke liye chandra aur ketu ka bura toh hai hi aur sath mein baith gaya hai buddh. This indicates anxiety and neurological problems.”
Interestingly, Paras also noted that the planetary alignment hinted at ‘anxiety and neurological problems.’ This revelation, paired with Shefali’s later confirmation that she had suffered from epilepsy as a teenager, made the clip even more unsettling. In the podcast, the actor-dancer had proudly stated that she had been ‘20 years epilepsy-free’ thanks to her consistent treatment, lifestyle changes, and meditation. Shefali had remarked:
“My first seizure I got was when I was 15 in the tenth great. There are medications that treat this neurological disorder. You have to make certain lifestyle changes. Meditation and yoga help. You have to learn how to calm yourself. Today, I’m 20 years epilepsy free, and I spread a lot of awareness about it. You need medical treatment, and it can be cured.”
Industry mourns the untimely loss of Shefali Jariwala
Shefali Jariwala passed away at only 42 years old, and she was reportedly found dead in her Mumbai residence before it was confirmed in the hospital. The entertainment fraternity is devastated by the sudden demise of the bright star, and condolences have been pouring in. Fellow Bigg Boss 13 contestants, Rashami Desai, Paras Chhabra, and many other celebs like Mika Singh posted tributes for the late actress. Fellow housemate and politician, Tehseen Poonawalla, expressed his disbelief and wrote:
“Absolutely stunned to hear my friend Shefali Jariwala is no more. I last met her at a party. Life is so short. She was in Bigg Boss 13 with me. Incredible how Siddharth Shukla and now she, from my season, are no more. Sending love and healing to her loved ones. Om Shanti.”

Shefali Jariwala’s sudden passing marks yet another heartbreaking moment for Bigg Boss 13 fans, especially after the untimely loss of her co-contestant Sidharth Shukla, who also passed away from a sudden cardiac episode in 2021. The police confirmed that a post-mortem report is awaited to determine the exact cause of death.
Rest in peace, Shefali. Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
