Shefali Jariwala's Postmortem Report Expected Next Week: Police
New Delhi: Actor and model Shefali Jariwala, best known for her appearance in the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga, died on Friday, June 27. She was 42. While the exact cause of death is yet to be confirmed, preliminary medical findings suggest cardiac arrest. Sources close to the development told NDTV that the Police in Amboli have stated that the final post-mortem and forensic reports are expected within a week. A police official said that prima facie, there is no indication of foul play and her family also does not suspect anything suspicious. The post-mortem was conducted at Cooper Hospital and recorded on video. "She was brought to the hospital around 11:15 pm (Friday). The on-duty doctor declared her dead on arrival," a hospital source said. Initial findings from the medical examination indicate that her death may have been caused by "low blood pressure, cardiac arrest and heavy gastric condition." According to police, the suspected cardiac arrest may have been triggered by a combination of fasting and the use of unsupervised anti-ageing medication. Shefali was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai by her husband, actor Parag Tyagi. A team of five doctors is currently analysing whether medication, food poisoning or her history of epilepsy may have contributed to the cardiac arrest. Mumbai Police have said that she ate stale fried rice while fasting and had taken anti-ageing injections without recent medical consultation. During a visit to her residence, police and forensic experts found glutathione injections, Vitamin C shots and acidity pills, raising concerns over prolonged and unsupervised use of such treatments. A source told NDTV, "There was a puja at home on June 27, due to which Shefali was fasting. Despite this, she took an injection of anti-ageing medicine in the afternoon of the same day. These medicines were advised to her by a doctor years ago, and since then she has been taking this treatment every month. So far in the police investigation, it has come to light that these medicines could be a major reason for cardiac arrest." Another doctor, who had treated Shefali in the past, told NDTV on condition of anonymity that she had last visited their clinic in March, nearly three months before her death. The police are currently awaiting reports from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to confirm the exact cause of death. Who Was Shefali Jariwala? Shefali Jariwala rose to fame in 2002 with the music video Kaanta Laga, which became a pop culture phenomenon. She later appeared in the 2004 film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi alongside Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. She was also seen in reality shows like Nach Baliye (Seasons 5 and 7) and Bigg Boss 13.

Shefali Jariwala Passes Away At 42: Understanding The Surge In Youth Cardiac Arrests
Shefali Jariwala died of a sudden cardiac arrest. Despite swift help from husband Parag Tyagi, she was declared dead on arrival. The tragic and unexpected death of actress Shefali Jariwala at the age of 42 has ignited widespread concern over a growing health crisis: rising heart attack cases among young adults. Known for her iconic role in the music video Kaanta Laga and her participation in Bigg Boss 13, Shefali reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest. Despite her husband, actor Parag Tyagi's swift efforts to get her medical help, she was declared dead upon arrival. Her body was later moved to Cooper Hospital for a postmortem. As authorities investigate the precise cause, Shefali Jariwala 's untimely demise underscores an unsettling trend: a significant surge in cardiac incidents among individuals in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s. A Worrying Shift in Trends Cardiovascular disease, once seen as a condition primarily affecting the middle-aged and elderly, is now striking much earlier. Experts report that heart attacks among individuals under 40 are growing rapidly, accounting for 6–10 per cent of global cases. Alarming as that is, the rate in India appears even higher compared to global averages. Sedentary Lifestyles and Unhealthy Habits One of the main culprits behind this trend is lifestyle. A large percentage of today's youth spend extended periods seated at work, during travel or while using screens. Combined with a diet packed with ultra-processed, sugary and fatty foods, this leads to weight gain and increases the risk of conditions like diabetes, hypertension and elevated cholesterol. Mental well-being is often overlooked but is closely linked to heart health. Persistent stress, anxiety and depression can raise cortisol levels, which in turn spike blood pressure and damage the heart over time. In addition, stress can encourage harmful coping mechanisms such as smoking, excessive alcohol use and drug consumption – all of which increase heart attack risks. Undetected Medical Conditions Many young people skip regular check-ups, believing they're too young to worry about heart disease. As a result, underlying conditions like high cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, or early-onset diabetes go unnoticed, only to manifest as major cardiac events. Other Risk Factors in Young Adults Additional contributors to early heart attacks include: Smoking – Regular or secondhand smoke rapidly damages arteries. Substance abuse – Drugs like cocaine or meth can cause sudden heart spasms. Chronic hypertension – Puts continuous pressure on arteries and heart muscles. Unfavourable lipid profiles – High LDL and low HDL cholesterol contribute to arterial blockage. Genetic conditions, such as hyperhomocysteinemia and lipoprotein disorders, that affect blood flow. Prevention: What Can Be Done? Getting regular medical check-ups to identify hidden risks early. Maintaining a diet rich in whole foods and engaging in daily physical activity. Prioritising mental well-being through practices like meditation, yoga, or counselling. Steering clear of tobacco, e-cigarettes and recreational drugs. Following proper treatment plans for chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Shefali's passing is more than just a celebrity headline – it's a sobering wake-up call. Her story emphasises how critical it is for young people to take heart health seriously. Early prevention, awareness, and lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce the risk of such tragedies. If today's youth begin to prioritise their physical and emotional well-being, we could be looking at a future where heart attacks in the young are the exception, not the norm.
