Rashami Desai mourned Shefali Jariwala's death, defended Parag Tyagi from online criticism, and urged empathy for the grieving family.
Rashami Desai was in the same season as late Shefali Jariwala in Bigg Boss 13. After expressing grief over Shefali's death on social media, she defended Parag Tyagi and criticised social media users for 'judging him' for walking their dog while holding his late wife's photo in one hand. She urged everyone to show empathy and not spread 'sensationalism".
Rashami posted a screenshot of Parag walking their dog Simba, whom Shefali was extremely close to. Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote, 'Arreee bhaiya, let's spread kindness and compassion instead of judgment! Simba was more than just a pet – he was Shefali's beloved son. Her sudden passing leaves a huge void, and I urge the media to respect the family's grief and give them space during this difficult time. Let's show empathy and understanding, not sensationalism (sic)." Take a look:
Earlier today, Rashami shared a picture of Shefali and wrote, 'I am still trying to process the news, you were an incredible person and I am struggling to find the words to express…You will be deeply missed, gone too soon." Meanwhile, Himanshi Khurrana shared a throwback selfie with Shefali, and wrote, 'Bigg Boss that place is cursed I think" along with heartbreak emoji.
What did Shefali's residential security say?
Shatrughan, the watchman of Shefali Jariwala's residential society, recounted the events that unfolded on the night of her death. He shared that Shefali was taken to the hospital around 10:30 PM on Friday. Still in shock, he remembered seeing Shefali and her husband Parag Tyagi just the evening before, casually walking their dog in the compound. 'It was just like any other day," he said, adding, 'I couldn't believe it when I heard on Friday night that she had passed away."
Shatrughan, the security guard on duty, recounted the events of Friday night. While speaking with NDTV, he mentioned, 'Around 10:30 at night, Shefali ji was taken to the hospital. Before that, at around 9 PM, her husband Parag Tyagi came to the society on a motorcycle. I was the one who opened the gate."
Shortly after Shefali was taken to the hospital, police teams and forensic units arrived at the scene, said Shatrughan. 'The police have been inside since last night. There were two mobile forensic unit vehicles – one has left, one is still here," he added.
As for the latest update, police officials and forensic experts are still probing the case of her death. Her body was sent to Cooper Hospital for postmortem on Friday night.
