Parag Tyagi on Sheafli Jariwala’s last breath
Parag revealed that even before Shefali’s demise, he had a premonition that something tragic was about to happen. He recounted how it all unfolded in minutes: while taking their dog for a walk, he received a call that Shefali was feeling unwell and struggling to breathe. He shared, “Breathing ek ya do bar aayi, lekin body puri chhod chuki thi, main utha nahi pa rahi thi.”
Rushing her to the hospital, the doctors declared that she had passed away. “CPR mouth-to-mouth deke thodi si breathing lagi, awaz bhi aayi, but phir unhone kaha cornea move nahi kar raha hai,” he added.
On an emotional note, Parag shared, “We never know what will happen and when. There were so many things we still wanted to do. In life, we plan so much, what to earn, what to achieve, but in the end, it slipped away from my hands. She was wearing one of her favourite t-shirts, comfortable and paired with her pajamas. That’s all. Her jewelry, her branded clothes, her goggles, everything she loved collecting, were all left behind. She had such a passion for surrounding herself with beautiful things, and now it’s all just left as it was.”
He recalled how Shefali used to plan everything for their future, while he would say, “Why don’t we do it now?” She would respond, “No, no, let’s wait a little more, more money will come, then we can do everything easily.” And now, everything remains unfinished.

“No one else will write it Shefali Jariwala, December 15, 1982 to June 27, 2025. I will make sure her legacy continues for eternity. I may not be able to do it alone; only God can,” he said.
