In a past interview with BollywoodLife, Shefali had spoken about their evolving bond after the show. 'See, initially we bonded and then we had a bad fight. After he came back from the secret room, our equation got better. Both of us are very logical people. Also, we have similar interests, we would talk about travel, space, bullet trains and what not. Even after we stopped dating, we were always cordial whenever we bumped into each other," she had said.
Shefali and Sidharth were in a relationship over 15 years ago. Since 2014, Shefali had been happily married to actor Parag Tyagi.
She reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest at her Mumbai residence on Thursday. Parag rushed her to the hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.
