Harmeet Singh recalls final long conversation with ex-wife Shefali Jariwala before her death: ‘We were on a private plane and…'
Shefali, who rose to fame as the 'Kaanta Laga Girl' in the early 2000s, further established herself in the industry by playing a supporting role in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles. That same year, she married musician Harmeet Singh of Meet Brothers, though the couple parted ways in 2009. Now, Harmeet has spoken out for the first time since his ex-wife's passing, describing the news as 'shattering'. He also recalled the last long conversation they had.
'I remember having gone to Bangladesh for a show, about two to three years ago. Sunny Leone and Shefali were also there. 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. Apart from that, I did meet her at a few events and parties where I remember we both wishing each other warmly,' he shared during a chat with journalist Vickey Lalwani.
It may be mentioned here that although the two moved on after their divorce, Shefali had previously admitted experiencing 'mental violence' during her marriage to Harmeet. '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. I think one of the reasons why I could make the decision for myself was because I was independent. I was making my own money. The biggest fear in our country is we have is of society. Divorce is considered to be taboo, but the way I have been raised is to not really care about society but just do what we feel is right. I could take such steps in my life and had strong support,' she said during a chat with Times Now Digital in 2021.
After her split from Harmeet, Shefali began dating actor Parag Tyagi, and the two eventually tied the knot in 2014. She passed away at the age of 42 on Friday (June 27) in Mumbai.
