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.

‘Connecting with myself': How Sanjay Divecha worked up the courage to make a solo guitar album
I've always believed in the oneness of all things in this universe. Going through life's bylanes and observing how events unfold and teach you the lessons to be learned, this belief has only strengthened with time. My work as an artist has primarily been to connect with my inner self , and express myself with honesty. Being able to share this work with others is a blessing that I am truly grateful for. The yearning to learn something new in my art and refine my skill set has been my constant companion. I started my musical journey in Mumbai, where I was born, studying the sitar for five years. But as I listened to blues, jazz, and rock, I chose the guitar as my primary instrument. I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and soon began to study at Musician's Institute there a couple of years later. I lived in Los Angeles for 15 years, recording and touring with artists who performed a variety of genres: the Beninese-French singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo, Latin-rock pioneer Carlos Santana and jazz-fusion maestro Dave Weckl among them. Since I returned to India in 2003, I've been participating in a range of projects. I've been a member of the group Crosscurrents, which was led by the tabla superstar Zakir Hussain. The personnel were legends too: bassist Dave Holland, saxophonist Chris Potter, vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, keyboardist Louiz Banks and drummer Gino Banks. I lead three ensembles, each of which ploughs a distinct groove. Sanjay Divecha & Secret was formed as a result of my effort to absorb folk music from across the country, both north and south. With Merkaba, we play urban contemporary music that aims to foster healing both of the self and the community. I also perform in a jazz trio that play both originals and standards. And now also performing solo guitar concerts. Amidst all of this, I'd been intimidated by the thought of recording an album primarily of solo guitar tunes – it seemed too demanding. All my previous recorded works have been with ensembles, with a variety of instruments. With Leela, I've finally mustered up the courage to record a collection of music that was mainly written for solo guitar, also mainly recorded on acoustic guitar. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanjay Divecha (@sanjaydivechamusic) In Sanskrit. 'Leela' means 'divine play'. This album was a joyous yet profound act of creation. The songs are reflections of some of my journeys and inspirations, interpreted in a spontaneous and instinctive manner. It started with me performing a few solo guitar concerts. I've always had this repertoire. The experience was so thrilling, I decided to capture that so I could share it with others. Although all the songs have a form , the manner in which they were interpreted was in the moment and there was always room for improvising . As I started the recording process I started to add a few layers to enhance the music – acoustic steel string guitar, acoustic nylon, acoustic baritone and some electric guitar. On some tracks, I invited guests I have long admired to join me. There's Ananya Sharma on vocals and hand claps, Apoorv Petkar on vocals, harmonium and hand claps, Anand Bhagat on percussion, Vasundhara Vee on vocals and Harmeet Mansetta on string orchestration. The album opener, When the Mountains Meet the Sky is inspired by my trips to the northern states of India and the mighty Himalayas . Decades after I first heard the guitar legend John McLaughlin live, his music has continued to have an impact on me. Song for John Ji is dedicated to him and his spirit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nusrat Apoorv (@nusrat_apoorv) One of the cool things that can be done on the guitar is alternate tunings. I've used quite a few in this collection. These tunings open up the instrument and give it new possibilities and dimensions. Every once in a while a melody comes along with a special quality that resonates with all. Afrika is a song I learned from Andre Manga, multi instrumentalist from Cameroon. I finally recorded this song after many requests from audiences asking where they could hear a recorded version of it. Music from Brazil has been a huge part of my musical journey. For Tom is a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (who was fondly known as Tom) . The organic nature of Leela takes me back to my formative years as a guitar player. I'm grateful for it to take its own journey.

‘Being away in Europe…': As Harmeet Singh mourns ex-wife Shefali Jariwala's death, a look back at her words on their divorce; why heartbreak makes love feel risky
Going through a divorce is never easy, and for some, it can feel like the end of something much bigger. Actor and model Shefali Jariwala, who passed away on June 27 — her husband Parag Tyagi found her lifeless in their Mumbai home — was earlier married to Harmeet Singh of Meet Bros. Singh, who is currently in Europe, condoled her death in an emotional Instagram post. 'One of the most shocking moments of my life. I'm absolutely shattered and in disbelief after hearing about Shefali's sudden and untimely demise. We shared a few beautiful years together a long time ago — memories I'll always hold close to my heart. My deepest condolences to her parents — Satish ji and Sunita ji, her husband Parag, and her sister Shivani. Being away in Europe right now, it's painful for me not to be there for the last rites. Gone far too soon. I pray to the Almighty for her soul to rest in peace and strength to the family during this unimaginable time. Jai Shree Krishna,' he wrote. Their past, though long behind them, had once been a source of deep emotional upheaval for Jariwala. In an old interview, she had opened up about how her first marriage and the subsequent separation affected her emotionally. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, she said, 'When that happens to you, you think it's the end of the world, it is difficult, you think 'what has happened?' I was so young when I got married and I got divorced. It was very difficult for me but I had a very strong support system — my parents, my friends and everybody — so I could deal with it.' Jariwala also touched upon the emotional spiral that many go through post-divorce. 'And then, there are times when you stop believing in love. You go through that phase where you are like, 'I don't think I'll ever fall in love again' or 'I don't think I'll ever get into a relationship again, shaadi toh bohot door ki baat hai (marriage is a long shot)'.' Recalling that she was heavily judged and trolled after their divorce became public knowledge, she said that with time, she healed, and eventually married Tyagi, but the journey wasn't without its challenges. 'People would say, 'Isi ne kuch kiya hoga, isi mein kuch hoga, yeh toh Kaanta Laga ladki hai, yeh bohot bold hai (She must be the one at fault, she is the Kaanta Laga girl, she is so bold).' Come on! That is a character we play on screen,' Jariwala had said. Counselling psychologist Athul Raj tells 'It's one of the most common things people say after a breakup or divorce, and it's not because they've given up on love — it's because something in them no longer feels safe.' This is a nervous system response, he said, not a failure of hope. 'When you've loved with your whole self and it ends, especially in betrayal or silence, your body registers it as danger.' 'Therapeutically, I see this often,' says Raj, adding that clients don't just grieve the relationship, they grieve the version of themselves that was open, trusting, hopeful. And what replaces it, at least for a while, is fatigue. 'In India, this pain is often made heavier by social noise. People rush you to move on, or expect you to stay broken. Either way, there's little space to just feel lost,' notes the psychologist. Raj says, 'Love after loss doesn't mean you failed. It means you survived. It means your heart still wants connection, even after knowing what it costs. That's not weakness, that's resilience. Fear doesn't need to go away. It needs a seat at the table — not the head of it. Don't wait to feel fearless. Wait to feel honest.' If someone judges you for trying again, he says, that's about their discomfort, not your truth. The people who matter won't ask you to shrink. 'Take your time. Just begin by choosing differently — slower, wiser, more attuned to how your body responds to closeness. Safety is quiet. And it's okay to ask for it,' says Raj.
