**Actress Shefali Jariwala’s Sudden Demise Shocks Fans and Close Friends**

**Mumbai, India** – The sudden passing of actress Shefali Jariwala, best known for her stint on “Bigg Boss 13,” has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and left her fans in mourning. Her close friend and self-proclaimed brother, Vikas Fhatak, known online as Hindustani Bhau, expressed his disbelief and shared emotional memories of the actress.

Hindustani Bhau, visibly distraught, spoke about his close bond with Jariwala, revealing that she was like a daughter to him. He shared that he eagerly awaited her calls on special occasions like Raksha Bandhan, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Bhai Dooj, a tradition they cherished. “She wasn’t just a sister to me, she was like a daughter. I used to wait for her call and wonder what I should cook for her. Now, I’ll be waiting for a call that will never come,” he lamented in an interview.

Bhau also raised concerns about the reported cause of death, a heart attack. “I find it difficult to connect with people, but Shefali was like family. People are saying it was a heart attack, but her heart wasn’t that weak. She was like a son to her family and recently spent 2.5 million Rupees for her fathers operation.” He said, emphasizing her strength and dedication to her family. He added that he hoped the post-mortem report would reveal the true cause of her sudden demise.

The two first met on “Bigg Boss 13” in 2019 and developed a strong bond that continued beyond the show. Hindustani Bhau fondly recalled how Jariwala took care of him when he was unwell during their time in the Bigg Boss house. He said that he used to save her name in his mobile as “Chupdi”, and he is very shocked about her sudden demise.

“Shefali was a joyful and lively person. It is very sad she is not longer with us. It is heartbreaking to witness the pain and loss her parents are experiencing.” Bhau concluded, expressing his deep sorrow for Jariwala’s family during this difficult time.
