The sudden and untimely demise of Shefali Jariwala, the beloved `Kaanta Laga` girl, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. At just 42, her death on June 27 from a reported cardiac arrest has left friends, family, and fans in disbelief. As details emerge, a complex picture is forming, pointing towards a potential link between her religious fasting, unsupervised anti-ageing treatments, and the fatal event.
As the police investigation unfolds, a new line of inquiry has come to the forefront: Shefali`s long-term use of anti-ageing treatments. Reports indicate that she had been taking anti-ageing infusions, including glutathione, for nearly a decade. On the day of her death, despite fasting, she reportedly received an injection as part of her monthly regimen.
Her close friend, actor Pooja Ghai, confirmed that Shefali had taken an intravenous (IV) drip on that fateful day. In an interview, Ghai stated, “On that day, she did take the drip, the vitamin C. But like I said, it’s a very normal thing to take a vitamin C.” She also revealed that the police had questioned the person who administered the drip to verify the substances used.
