Shefali Jariwala's Death: Did Paras Chhabra Predict Her Demise? Old Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: After Shefali Jariwala's tragic death, an old clip of Paras Chhabra predicting her 'sudden demise' via kundali has shocked fans. As the entertainment industry continues to mourn the untimely demise of actress and Bigg Boss 13 contestant Shefali Jariwala, an old video clip featuring her co-contestant Paras Chhabra has resurfaced online, sending fans into a state of disbelief and shock. In the clip, Paras can be seen conducting a kundali (birth chart) reading for Shefali inside the Bigg Boss house — and what was once a casual astrological interaction has now taken on an eerie, spine-chilling tone in the wake of Shefali's passing. In the video, Paras reads Shefali's astrological chart and points to a particularly ominous planetary alignment. 'Aapke 8th house mein chandra, buddh aur ketu baithe huye hain. Chandra and Ketu ka combination sabse bura hota hai. The 8th house also indicates loss, sudden death, fame, hidden mysteries, and tantric-related things, too. Aapke liye chandra aur ketu ka bura toh hai hi aur sath mein baith gaya hai buddh. This indicates anxiety and neurological problems," Paras says. His words — once perhaps brushed off as part of a quirky housemate interaction — have taken on a chilling resonance in light of recent events. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Film Window (@ What makes this clip even more unsettling is how Paras's astrological prediction eerily aligns with what Shefali herself had once shared about her health. In an interview, Shefali had openly spoken about her past struggle with epilepsy and how she overcame it. 'My first seizure I got was when I was 15 in the tenth grade. There are medications that treat this neurological disorder. You have to make certain lifestyle changes. Meditation and yoga help. You have to learn how to calm yourself," she said, speaking candidly about her journey. She added, 'Today, I'm 20 years epilepsy free, and I spread a lot of awareness about it. You need medical treatment, and it can be cured." In that same conversation, Shefali had proudly explained how she took control of her health with treatment and lifestyle changes, noting the importance of meditation and awareness. She had become a vocal advocate for epilepsy awareness, drawing from her own personal story as an example of resilience and recovery. The resurfacing of both the kundali reading and Shefali's interview has left fans reflecting on the mysterious ways in which life unfolds. Many are calling it a tragic coincidence, while others are grappling with the uncomfortable questions such synchronicities raise. Regardless, Shefali Jariwala's honesty about her struggles and strength in overcoming them remain etched in the hearts of her admirers. As fans revisit her words and that old clip, the collective feeling is one of deep respect, sorrow, and a haunting sense of fate. First Published:
