Actor-model Shefali Jariwala's sudden death at the age of 42 on June 27 has left her loved ones and the television industry stunned. Her close friend, Pooja Ghai, in an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, opened up about what transpired on the night of Shefali's death and what her husband, Parag Tyagi, shared with her. Recalling the night, Pooja said, 'But what I have understood from family, from Parag is that there was a beautiful Satyanarayan ki puja. In fact, the next day when we were allowed to enter home to bring Shefali for the last rites, I realised that the whole house was decorated for puja. So there was Satyanarayan ki puja at home and they did a beautiful puja setup at home." Pooja added that Shefali had dinner like usual and asked Parag to walk the dog. 'And the moment he went down, apparently he was called. The helper at home called him and said, 'Didi is not feeling well.' So, she told him, 'Could you just come up, take care of me?' The dog is really old. And he told the helper, 'I've just come down for a walk, so why don't you come down, take him for a walk and I'll come up.'" What happened next, she said, left everyone shaken. 'He was waiting down the lift, the helper came down, he handed over the dog and when he went up, Parag said that she still had the pulse. And her eyes were not opening and she just had dead weight to her body. So he immediately must have realised that something's definitely wrong. And he took her to the hospital… before she was brought in at Bellevue, she was already no more."
