As per the findings from the initial medical examination, "Shefali's death is said to have been due to low blood pressure, cardiac arrest and heavy gastric condition."
The postmortem report is expected today, and will help determine the exact cause of Shefali's death.

Ram Kapoor Says He Didn't Slim Down For Films: 'I Did It For Myself'
Last Updated: Ram Kapoor says he didn't lose weight for his career but for himself. 'I'm not a star, my name is not Khan,' he tells Farah Khan in a new vlog. Actor Ram Kapoor recently grabbed attention on social media for his dramatic physical transformation, sparking whispers that he may have taken Ozempic—a popular weight loss drug among celebrities. But the actor has now set the record straight: his transformation was all-natural and entirely self-motivated. In a new vlog posted by filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, she paid a visit to Ram and wife Gautami Kapoor's home, accompanied by her beloved cook, Dilip. The lighthearted banter and heartwarming exchanges between the trio made for an entertaining watch, but it was Ram's candid reflections that stood out. As the group settled in, Farah asked Dilip if he recognized the couple. Pointing at Ram, Dilip quipped, 'Tiger Shroff," and then proceeded to call Gautami 'Deepika Padukone." The unexpected compliment had Gautami beaming with joy. Farah, clearly impressed by Ram's fitness at 50, asked him if his slimmer look had opened more doors in the industry. Ram's response was quietly powerful, 'Some people reach a level where they get work because they have nothing more to prove. I am no star, I'll never be a star, my name is not Khan. Main size mein bada hoon ya chhota, kaam milta hai. Maine yeh kaam ke liye nahi kiya, career ke liye nahi kiya—apne liye kiya. I promised myself that at the age of 50, I would do it." Farah, taken aback by his humility, quickly cut in: 'He is a big star!"—a sentiment echoed by many fans who have followed Ram's journey for decades. The actor, known for his grounded persona and versatile performances, is currently seen in Mistry—the official Hindi remake of the hit series Monk. He plays a former Mumbai Police officer battling severe OCD while helping ACP Sehmat Siddiqui (Mona Singh) crack complicated cases. The Rishab Seth directorial is available for streaming on JioHotstar and also features Shikha Talsania, Kshitish Date, and Namantar Rajendra in pivotal roles. First Published:

Jun 30, 2025 05:11 PM IST In the last few weeks, two cases of murder have caused immense public outrage in India. In both the cases of Muskan Rastogi and Sonam Raghuvanshi, the common factor was the murder of their husbands.

Screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar has talked about the public outrage over cases linked to Sonam Raghuvanshi and Muskan Rastogi. (ANI Photo)(Sunil Khandare) During the interview, when Javed was asked to comment on these two cases and the commotion it has caused, he said in Hindi, 'I have mixed emotions on this matter. These two women got there husbands killed and the society is shaken. Then there are women who are burnt alive every other day. If not burnt alive, then the lives that they live with their husbands are worse than any death. They are beaten every day. Then the society is not outraged?' 'Do auroton ne murder kiye…' He went on to add, 'Bada besharam hai samaajh. Do auroton ne murder kiye toh chauk para aur itne barso se jo mard uspe zaarti kar rahe hain aur aaj bhi kat rahe hain uspe uski joo nahi rengti (What a shameless society! Two women were murdered, so they are shaken, but what about the years of injustice that men commit against women? No outrage on that)? If they did kill so soon after their marriage then find out whether they were forced into marriage or not. It is easy for a woman from a small town in India to say no to marriage? Can she say that?' On June 2, Raja Raghuvanshi's body was found in a deep gorge close to a waterfall in the Sohra area, also known as Cherrapunji, within the East Khasi Hills district. Sonam Raghuvanshi surrendered a few days later. According to police, Sonam conspired with her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha to hire three other men to kill her husband Raja during their honeymoon, nearly two weeks after their wedding. Meanwhile, Muskan Rastogi, along with her lover Sahil Shukla, had allegedly stabbed her husband Saurabh Rajput to death on March 4 before chopping his body up into multiple pieces and hiding them inside a cement-filled drum.
