Shefali Jariwala, known for her role in Kaanta Laga, tragically passed away on June 27, 2025. Her untimely death has left the entire entertainment industry in shock. At the age of 42, she became an instant sensation with her popular song, Kaanta Laga. The official cause of her death has not yet been disclosed, but Shefali's passing has left her friends in the industry grieving. Recently, Himanshi Khurana, who shared the Bigg Boss 13 house with the actress, expressed her thoughts on the perceived curse surrounding season 13 of the show.
Himanshi Khurana, a former contestant of Bigg Boss 13, has revealed her belief that the season was cursed. Shefali participated in the reality show hosted by Salman Khan, and Himanshi also took part in the same season, where she encountered her former partner, Asim Riaz. The winner of Bigg Boss 13 was Sidharth Shukla, who also sadly passed away later due to a heart attack. Recently, Himanshi took to her Instagram Stories to state that Bigg Boss 13 was indeed cursed. This sentiment arose from the fact that Sidharth passed away, she experienced a breakup, and now Shefali has also died. Himanshi's message included: It is unsettling to observe that Sidharth died in 2021, Himanshi and Asim Riaz ended their relationship in 2023, and in 2025, Shefali passed away. Himanshi shared a selfie of the late Shefali, where she was dressed in black and making a pout, while Shefali, with her winged eyeliner, was smiling broadly alongside Himanshi. Shefali was discovered deceased at her residence in Andheri, Mumbai. An official statement regarding her death has not yet been made public. However, her post-mortem examination was carried out at Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, after which her body was returned to her family for the final rites. In a previous interview with Pinkvilla, Himanshi Khurana addressed claims regarding her ex-boyfriend, Asim Riaz, and whether he had made advances towards Shefali Jariwala. Asim, who was the runner-up of Bigg Boss 13 while Sidharth emerged as the winner, is known to have had a close friendship with Shefali. Himanshi, who is close to both individuals, stated that she was unaware of any such attempts.
