NDTV Exclusive: Shefali Jariwala's Doctor On Her Last Visit
Actor-model Shefali Jariwala, who died on June 27, was on anti-ageing treatment, her doctor confirmed to NDTV on condition of anonymity. The doctor told NDTV that Shefali last visited them this March, three months before her sudden death shook the showbiz industry.
The doctor did not reveal what medication or treatment that Shefali was on, citing doctor-patient confidentiality.
Shefali was on anti-ageing treatment for the past eight years, sources told NDTV. Glutathione and Vitamin C, both used to lighten skin colour and improve texture, were reportedly part of Shefali's anti-ageing treatment.
Shefali was brought to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in suburban Mumbai around 11.15 pm (Friday), where the on-duty doctor declared her dead on arrival, a hospital source told NDTV on June 28.
The actress's postmortem reports are likely to come today, June 30. Initial reports into her death suggested that she died of a cardiac arrest.
The Investigation So Far
Mumbai Police is looking into all aspects of Shefali's medical history.
"Which doctors Shefali was in contact with in the last 8 years, which medicines were prescribed to her, and whether she took some medicines on her own without consulting a doctor. All these aspects are being investigated," a source told NDTV on June 29.
So far, the police have collected seven CCTV footage samples and recorded the statements of 14 people, including family members, domestic staff and those who interacted with Shefali regularly.
Sources told NDTV that the police have also recorded the statement of the pharmacist of the medical store from where Shefali and her family used to procure medicines.
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.
Who Was Shefali Jariwala?
Shefali Jariwali came into the limelight in 2002 with the remix music video of the song Kaanta Laga. She was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 15. She was seen on reality TV shows Bigg Boss 13, and Nach Baliye 5 and Nach Baliye 7 with her husband Parag Tyagi.

Coolie Producers Take Censor Board To Court Against 'A' Certificate For Rajinikanth Film
New Delhi: In a fresh twist to the mega success of superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, production house Sun Pictures has gone to the Madras High Court challenging the certification issued by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The CBFC had cleared the film with an 'A' certificate citing its violent sequences, restricting children from watching the film. The plea is likely to come up for hearing today. Industry watchers say the certification has come as a setback for the film's positioning, as Rajinikanth's movies are generally considered family entertainers, attracting audiences across age groups. An 'A' certification, by definition, bars minors from theatre screenings, raising concerns among fans and distributors alike. Despite the classification hurdle, Coolie has already rewritten box-office history. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has grossed Rs 404 crore worldwide in just four days, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film ever. On its opening day alone, the Rajini-starrer set a record by crossing Rs 151 crore in collections. Featuring an ensemble cast including Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj, Coolie also marks a milestone in Rajinikanth's illustrious career as it coincides with his 50th year in cinema. The music, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, has added to the film's mass appeal. Speaking to NDTV after the first show, director Lokesh Kanagaraj said he was thrilled with the audience's response: "The response is so good. The film has come out exactly the way I planned. Directing Rajinikanth is always special - it's a dream every time." The outcome of Sun Pictures' plea before the Madras High Court will be closely watched, as a favourable verdict could open the doors for Coolie to reach the younger fans who form a significant part of Rajinikanth's fan base. Music composer Anirudh Ravichander, whose pulsating background score and songs have been hailed as a major highlight of Coolie, told NDTV that he chose a "mass theme" to match Rajinikanth's larger-than-life screen presence. "I'm so proud to be a part of Coolie. It's breaking records all over the world. Delivering this in Thalaivar's 50th year is a proud moment for me," he said. Anirudh Ravichander concluded by saying that his next project will be Jailer 2 with Rajinikanth.
