Actor, dancer Shefali Jariwala's body is kept at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital for post-mortem. She passed away last night reportedly from cardiac arrest. While the official cause of her death is being investigated, her husband Parag Tyagi reached the hospital on Saturday afternoon.
Upon reaching the hospital location, Parag was quickly surrounded by paparazzi. Looking shattered, he was mobbed by the media personnel. Videos of him struggling to make his way to the hospital gate have surfaced online.
Requesting space, Parag folded hands and told photographers to let him go.
In a viral video, he is heard saying, 'Please mat karo (don't do this).'
The media frenzy outside the hospital upon Parag's arrival has left the internet angry. Slamming shutterbugs, a user wrote, 'Guys, it's a difficult time for them, please allow them some space.'
'He must be shocked and devastated. Please be human and leave him alone,' added another.
Someone else also said, 'Please leave him alone.'
Apart from Parag, relatives of Shefali were also spotted reaching the hospital where her mortal remains are kept.
Shefali's friend and Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant Arti Singh was clicked arriving at the hospital with her husband Dipak.
Vikas Fhatak, popularly known as Hindustani Bhau, was also seen outside Cooper Hospital after the sudden death of Shefali. The two shared a close bond after meeting on the reality show Bigg Boss 13 in 2019.
They were seen celebrating Raksha Bandhan together.
Vikas, Shefali's Rakhi brother, broke down in front of the media. Holding back his tears, he said, 'Behen thi wo meri...Soch bhi nahin sakte the ki aisa kuch hoga. Jo saal mein do-teen baar mujhe subah se leke shaam tak jo phone bajte the, wo sirf Raksha Bandhan ke time aur Ganpati Bappa ke time hi the. Bas ab mobile me naam hain uska. Phone nahin bajega (She was like a sister to me... I could never have imagined something like this would happen. The only times my phone used to ring nonstop from morning till night, maybe two or three times a year, were during Raksha Bandhan and Ganpati Bappa celebrations. Now, all that's left is her name in my phone. The phone will never ring again).'
