Shefali Jariwala Was Always A Daddy's Girl, From Kaanta Laga Days To His Battle With Cancer
New Delhi:
Shefali Zariwala was only 19 when she featured in the Kaanta Laga remix video. Like any other father, her father Satish Jariwala, too, didn't want her to step into the world of glamour, modelling at a tender age. Shefali wanted to pursue her dream. So her father set a condition. The obedient girl listened to it.
Years ago, Shefali Zariwala AKA the Kaanta Laga Girl told in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar that her father wanted her to finish the studies before she took up the music video assignment. Coming from a traditional Gujarati family, academics was given the first and foremost priority. Shefali revealed it was only after she promised to finish her studies, her father let her take up the music video.
Shefali earned a degree in Computer Engineering from Sardar Patel Engineering College and even became an IT professional. However, balancing studies and career was not always an easy task, she said later.
During the same interview, she thanked her parents for insisting her on completing studies. The discipline, she said, later helped her to shape her life.
Shefali was an out-and-out family person. Her Instagram posts screamed love, togetherness and family bonding. A couple of months ago, Shefali shared a fun picture with her father in which they can be seen making a splash in a swimming pool. She captioned the picture, "My forever-Valentine, My Dad!"

On a Father's Day, Shefali shared throwback pictures with her father, who's a Stage 3 colon cancer survivor. She shared a picture featuring herself, father and her sister Shivani. The carousel post also features Shefali's adorable childhood pictures with her father.
The caption read, "To my dad who taught me the game of life and how to play it right. To my father, who has always been there for me and guided me to find happiness in life. Happy father's day, Papa! I love you."

Shefali always stood by her father during his battle with colon cancer. After Poonam Panday made a hoax of her death to spread awareness against cancer, Shefali wrote a strong note slamming her move. She also revealed her father's cancer battle and that's why she was very sensitive about such posts.
An excerpt from her post read, "Deeply saddened and hurt how some people can use CANCER for publicity. I can't believe how insensitive people are. I don't know Poonam Pandey at all, but the fake drama of her demise to cervical cancer deeply affected me."
"...The last few months have been difficult as my father has been undergoing treatment for Colon Cancer - stage 3. Not being able to sleep all of last night and being anxious as f*#k makes me so angry. In the name of creating awareness pls stop playing with people's emotions! Creating awareness on a SM platform is one thing but faking your own death is so low... This is not a joke... cancer is not a joke!" she added.

However, initial reports suggested she could have died out of cardiac arrest, low blood pressure, and gastric complications, with police not ruling out the impact of self-medication and anti-ageing treatments.

You don't need to be a billionaire to recreate this pasta alla nerano served at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!
The Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding raised a lot of eyebrows, primarily owing to its $50 million price tag. Now if you're dropping 50-mil on a wedding, you won't be wrong to expect the best of the best. Golden details coming out about the billionaire's Venetian nuptials, reveal that the catering was handled by chef Fabrizio Mellino, one of the youngest cooks to ever achieve three Michelin stars. Part of this mouthwatering lineup reportedly, was also the Amalfi coast special pasta alla nerano. You don't need to be a billionaire to try this pasta alla nerano served at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding!(Photos: Marcellina in Cucina, Instagram/laurensachezbezos) Now you may not be able to afford a $50 million dollar wedding, but this pasta? That you can definitely whip up in your kitchen. So follow the recipe below. Ingredients: Spaghetti - 500gms, small to medium zucchini - 5 (sliced into 4mm bits), olive oil - 1/4 cup, salt - 2tsps (divided), extra virgin olive oil - 3tbsps, garlic cloves - 4, unsalted butter - 1tbsp, grated Caciocavallo cheese - 1.25 cups, black pepper to taste, chopped basil - 1/4 cup (packed), reserved pasta water - 2 cups Method: Fry the zucchini in olive oil until each side is golden brown for about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked zucchini to a large pan lined with paper towels, and immediately sprinkle with salt. Do this for each batch. Side by side, boil the spaghetti in generously salted water (2 tablespoons of salt per 3.5 litres of water in a good estimate) until al dente. Once the spaghetti cooks through, heat a fresh pan over medium-low heat and sauté the garlic cloves in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until they start crisping up. Once golden, remove and discard the garlic — these can go on as a garnish for any other savoury dish you may have in the works. Now to the same pan, add the butter, a ladleful of pasta water, and half of the fried zucchini. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then use a wooden spoon to mash the zucchini against the side of the pan. This should give you a loose, pulpy sauce. Now toss in the spaghetti and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the Caciocavallo cheese. Toss the spaghetti to melt the cheese and create a creamy, emulsified sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, gradually add a few tablespoons of pasta water at a time, tossing again until you get a silky smooth feel. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste. Stir in the fresh basil or parsley, then plate the pasta immediately, topping each portion with the remaining fried zucchini slices. Serve with some more grated Caciocavallo. Pecorino Romano also makes for a great choice for the final dusting of cheese on the pasta. (recipe from Sip and Feast) Will you be dining, billionaire style tonight?

Dilip Joshi, Munmun Dutta quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi says, ‘kuch unke personal reasons the…'
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest-running and most loved shows in India. Over the years, there have been several changes in the cast, with many actors quitting the show. Recently, there were rumours that Dilip Joshi, who plays Jethalal, and Munmun Dutta, who plays Babita in the show, are also planning to leave. Now, in an interview with Moneycontrol, the show's producer Asit Modi has broken his silence on the matter. Asit Modi reveals if Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta quit TMKOC. Asit called it false information and stated, "As you know, social media these days has become so negative that you should try to keep a positive mindset. And Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a completely positive show. It's a family show that spreads happiness. So some people should think positively about it. It's not right to spread rumours over small things or say anything inappropriate. That's not a good thing." Further quashing the rumours of Dilip and Munmun quitting the show, Asit said, "Lekin kuch nahi hai, sab log hamari team ka part hai. Kuch unke personal reasons the to us time nahi the. To aise koi baat nahi hai" (But there's nothing like that, everyone is part of our team. They were not present at that time due to some personal reasons. So, there's no such issue). Speculation about Dilip and Munmun's departure from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah began when viewers noticed their prolonged absence from the ongoing 'Bhootni' storyline. In the current plot, most of the Gokuldham Society members are seen holidaying in a supposedly haunted bungalow. Characters like Bapuji, Popatlal, Sodhi, Taarak Mehta, and Anjali have all been part of this spooky vacation. However, Jethalal and Babita have remained noticeably absent. Their absence fuelled rumours that the actors might be planning to exit the long-running sitcom. About Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah First aired in 2008 on SAB TV, the show is inspired by the Gujarati column Duniya Ne Undha Chashma by journalist and playwright Taarak Mehta. Created by Asit Kumarr Modi, the show centres around the lives of the residents of Gokuldham Society, a diverse housing colony in Mumbai. At the heart of the series is Jethalal Gada, a quirky Gujarati businessman played by Dilip Joshi, whose comic timing and daily struggles have made him a fan favourite. Despite numerous cast changes and evolving storylines, TMKOC has maintained a loyal fanbase and continues to enjoy high TRPs.
