‘Sexy Kaam Kam kiya karo….' Shefali Jariwala's iconic Kaanta Laga song was disliked by THIS actor, he even scolded the directors, called them…, his name is…
Actress and model Shefali Jariwala passed away on June 27 in Mumbai at 42, reportedly due to cardiac arrest. She was rushed to Mumbai's Multispecialty hospital by her husband, Parag Tyagi, and was declared dead upon arrival. Her sudden demise came across as a huge shock for everyone in the entertainment industry, along with her fans and admirers.
Shefali was best remembered for her iconic remix song, Kaanta Laga (2002) . She became an overnight sensation after the release, and created quite a stir with her bold party girl appearance in the song. However, did you know Bollywood superstar Salman Khan disliked the song when he first heard it? Yes you read that right! Why Salman Khan got angry over Kaanta Laga?
In a conversation with Hindi Rush, the music video directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru revealed that not everyone welcomed the song's bold and rebellious visuals, including Salman Khan. They said that he was angry with the remix and even scolded them.
Vinay recounted, 'A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'.' The actor in question was none other than Salman Khan, as revealed. How Salman Khan became the inspiration behind the Kaanta Laga song?
Interestingly, the duo explained that Salman Kahn was a sort of inspiration behind the song. 'We were doing cute and innocent songs with Falguni Pathak. We were doing songs with Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas. As creative people, we wanted to evolve… One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made 'Kaliyon Ka Chaman', 'Kaanta Laga', 'Chadti Jawani'… The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation.' Radhika and Vinay shared.
Shefali garnered instant popularity among the youth following the release of Kaanta Laga. Her mesmerising beauty and peppy dance moves soared her career to new heights. After her rise to fame, she even ventured into the Hindi film industry, and appeared alongside superstars like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra in the 2004 romantic comedy Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. She later went on to work with Salman Khan again when she participated in Bigg Boss 13 as a contestant.

Aamir Khan reveals he got invitation from underworld to attend Dubai party in '90s: ‘I said I won't go, unless you take me forcibly'
It's no secret that the underworld held significant influence over the Hindi film industry during the 1980s and 1990s. Right around that time, in the late 1980s, Aamir Khan had his breakthrough in Bollywood as the lead in cousin Mansoor Khan's 1988 directorial debut Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. As he became a renowned star, like many others of that time, he received an invitation in the late 1990s from the underworld to attend a party organized by them in the Middle East. 'I'd said no to the invite to attend their party in the Middle East, probably Dubai. Some people from the underworld had visited me to invite me to the party,' said Aamir Khan, not revealing if they were hired by notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim. 'I don't take names, even of people from my industry. That's my nature,' added Aamir. In the interview with The Lallantop, Aamir Khan continued, 'They tried a lot. They offered me money and offered to get any work done of my choosing. I still refused to come. They quickly changed their tone and said I'd have to come now because my presence had already been announced, and it was a prestige issue.' 'That was our last meeting. I said, 'You've been meeting for a month and I've been telling you right from the start that I wouldn't come. You're very powerful so you can bash me up, hit me on the head, tie my hands and legs, and take me forcibly wherever you want, but I wouldn't come on my own.' So they stopped contacting me after that,' recalled Aamir. Aamir Khan admitted he was very scared at that time, not only for him, but more so for his family. 'I had two small kids then. My parents were very concerned. They said, 'What are you doing? They're very dangerous.' So I had said only one thing to them then, 'I want to live my life the way I want. I don't want to go there,'' said Aamir. 'I was more concerned for the ones close to me,' added Aamir. He had two kids then — Ira Khan and Junaid Khan — from his then-wife Reena Dutta. Aamir had tied the knot with Reena in 1986 and they'd become parents to Junaid in 1993 and Ira in 1997. Aamir and Reena got divorced in 2002. Also Read — Aamir Khan says he was asked to do an action film after Laal Singh Chaddha failure: 'I had many offers, but story of Sitaare Zameen Par entered my bloodstream' A few years ago, Aamir Khan was in talks to do Mogul, the biopic of late producer Gulshan Kumar, who was shot dead by the underworld in 1997. The film was being produced by Gulshan's son Bhushan Kumar, the current head of T-Series, which was founded by his late father. The film was being helmed by Subhash Kapoor. After Aamir exited the project, Akshay Kumar was being considered for the lead role. However, there's no further update on the film yet.

Shefali Jariwala's death: Old video of Paras Chhabra's ‘sudden death' prediction resurfaces
The sudden death of Shefali Jariwala, 42, shocked social media. She used to maintain a healthy lifestyle and work out regularly. She shot to fame in 2002 after appearing in a popular music video. All her life, she was known as the Kaanta Laga girl. After her death on June 27, an old podcast video with Paras Chhabra resurfaced. In it, the actor warned of health risks based on her horoscope. During an August 2024 episode of Chhabra's podcast on YouTube, Abraa ka Dabra Show, he spoke about her Kundli. Paras Chhabra, Shefali's co-contestant in Bigg Boss 13, pointed at the possibility of sudden death. He mentioned a troubling combination of planets in her 8th house. Moon, Ketu and Mercury were sitting together in Shefali's 8th House, also known as the House of Death. 'In your 8th house, Moon, Mercury and Ketu are positioned. The combination of Moon and Ketu is considered one of the worst. The 8th house also represents loss, sudden death, fame, hidden mysteries and matters related to tantra,' Chhabra told Shefali. 'For you, the presence of Moon and Ketu is already inauspicious, and now Mercury is also sitting with them. This points to anxiety and neurological problems,' he added. In the same podcast, Paras Chhabra advised her to go to the mountains whenever she felt anxious and stressed. He asked her to visit Mata Rani temples and Jyotirlingas. Shefali earlier revealed that she had suffered from epilepsy at 15. However, she was seizure-free for 20 years due to treatment, lifestyle changes and meditation. On June 28, Shefali Jariwala's husband, actor Parag Tyagi, tearfully performed her last rites at Oshiwara Crematorium and asked the media to be respectful and pray for her soul. Many TV stars and friends, including Sunidhi Chauhan, Shehnaaz Gill and Rashami Desai, visited her home to pay their respects. Parag had rushed her to a hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival. Though reports say it was a heart attack, the exact cause is still unknown.
