Her Bigg Boss stint made headlines for reuniting her with former boyfriend and late actor Sidharth Shukla. The two had dated over a decade ago but remained cordial even after their breakup. On the show, their chemistry and mutual respect stood out. In an interview with BollywoodLife, Shefali recalled, 'See, initially we bonded and then we had a bad fight. After he came back from the secret room, our equation got better… Even after we stopped dating, we were always cordial whenever we bumped into each other." She further shared that despite their past, they found renewed friendship inside the Bigg Boss house. 'We would talk about travel, space, bullet trains and what not," she said, highlighting their intellectual connection. In 2014, Shefali found love again and married actor Parag Tyagi. The couple often shared glimpses of their life together, appearing in reality shows and winning hearts with their bond.
