The Night Before: A Peaceful Satyanarayan Pooja
Shefali had reportedly participated in a Satyanarayan Pooja at home a day before her passing. “The house was still decorated when we brought her for the last rites,” said Pooja. After a normal dinner, Shefali had asked her husband Parag Tyagi to take the dog for a walk.
While waiting for the helper to bring the aging pet downstairs, Parag received an urgent call: “Didi ki tabiyat theek nahi hai” (Shefali is not feeling well). When he rushed back upstairs, he found Shefali unresponsive. “Her pulse was still active, but her eyes wouldn’t open and she had gone completely limp,” Pooja recalled. Though Parag immediately rushed her to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital, doctors declared her dead on arrival.

IV Drip and Health Routine
Pooja Ghai also addressed speculation surrounding Shefali’s use of Vitamin C IV drips, confirming that Shefali had taken one the night before her death. She defended the practice, noting that such drips are commonly used in wellness routines in cities like Dubai, and said they were not unsafe if administered properly.
“She was very careful about what she took into her body. This is just heartwrenching,” Pooja added. She also recounted how Shefali’s mother suffered chest pain upon learning of her daughter’s death and had to be given medicine to calm down.
Cause of Death Still Undetermined
While initial reports indicated cardiac arrest, the exact cause of death will only be confirmed after the post-mortem. Authorities have ruled out foul play, categorizing it as an accidental death likely triggered by a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Condolences Pour In
Celebrities including Mika Singh, Himanshi Khurana, and Rashami Desai have taken to social media to express grief over the loss of the Kaanta Laga fame actor. Her passing has once again raised conversations around silent cardiac episodes, lifestyle triggers, and the fragile nature of life.
