Actor Parag Tyagi is grieving the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Shefali Zariwala, who died on June 27. On Sunday, Parag posted a tear-jerking tribute on Instagram that left friends and fans in tears. With a series of close-up photos of the couple embracing, laughing, and exploring together, he penned, “I will find you every time you are born and I will love you in every lifetime.” As performed to Mateo Oxley’s I Love You Always Forever, the post was an emotional tribute to their love.
He lovingly called Shefali “meri gundi, meri chokri” (my thug, my girl), ending with emotive hashtags such as Forever, Eternally, Miss you so much, and Stay beautiful.
Recalling the Woman Beyond the Spotlight
Parag wrote another heart-wrenching letter earlier this week, remembering Shefali not as just the legendary “Kaanta Laga Girl.” He called her “fire wrapped in grace,” emphasizing her resilience, determination, and empathy. “Shefali was love in its most selfless expression. She was sab ki maa — always others-first,” he wrote.
Parag remembered her not only as an actor but as a dedicated wife, loving daughter, caring mom to their pet Simba, and loyal sister and friend. He asked everyone to remember Shefali for the brightness she spread into people’s lives.

A Legacy That Lives On
Shefali became popular in the early 2000s with the chart-topper remix Kaanta Laga and went on to feature in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. She was also a popular reality TV personality with shows such as Nach Baliye and Bigg Boss 13.
While no formal cause of death has been announced, preliminary reports indicate a suspected cardiac arrest, possibly due to self-medication and anti-ageing procedures. Authorities continue investigating.
