We three came back together in a private plane, and Shefali and I sat next to each other. And yes, there was quite a long conversation that we had.

Singh, who is currently in Europe, was unable to attend her last rites. However, he took to Instagram to pay homage. Sharing a picture of Shefali, he wrote, 'One of the most shocking moments of my life. I'm absolutely shattered and in disbelief after hearing about Shefali's sudden and untimely demise.'
He also recalled that they spent a few 'beautiful years' together. 'I pray to the Almighty for her soul to rest in peace and for strength for the family during this unimaginable time. Jai Shree Krishna,' he wrote.
Singh is one-half of the popular singer-composer duo Meet Brothers. Some of their chartbusters include, 'Baby Doll,' 'Pink Lips,' 'Beparwah,' etc. Shefali collaborated with
Meet Brothers
on a music video named 'Pyaar Humein Kis Mod Pe Le Aaya.'
A Troubled Marriage
Shefali and Harmeet entered into matrimony in 2004, but their relationship came to an end five years later in 2009. As their separation made its way through the legal system, Shefali is said to have alleged that Harmeet had inflicted emotional and physical harm on her.
In previous conversations with
Times Now,
she opened up about her inner turmoil, revealing that a lack of emotional validation combined with ongoing psychological strain led her to make the painful yet crucial choice of walking away from the marriage. For her, continuing in that environment meant compromising her well-being—something she ultimately decided she could no longer endure.
"It is very important to understand that you are not being appreciated. Not every kind of violence is physical. There is a lot of mental violence that also happens, and you are very unhappy in your life..." she told the publication.
Shefali found love again in actor Parag Tyagi. The duo tied the knot in 2014.
Shefali Jariwala's last rites took place on Saturday evening at the
Oshiwara Hindu cremation
ground in Mumbai. The ceremonial rites were conducted by her husband, Parag Tyagi, alongside her father, Satish, and her sister, Shivani. Several close friends and colleagues from the entertainment world came together to pay their last respects, including familiar faces like Shehnaaz Gill, Mika Singh, and Vikas Gupta.

Himanshi Khurana took to social media to post a nostalgic photograph of Shefali, and in an emotional note, referred to Bigg Boss 13 as 'cursed,' citing the loss of Sidharth Shukla, her own relationship ending, and now the untimely death of Shefali as painful blows tied to that chapter
