The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one is never easy to accept or come to terms with. It’s not just their immediate absence, but also the heartbreaking realisation that you will never interact with them again, that one needs to make peace with. Film-television actor Parag Tyagi is currently going through such a difficult time following the untimely and tragic demise of his wife, actor and model Shefali Jariwala.
Meanwhile, one of Parag’s earlier interviews has caught the attention of netizens, in which he shared how emotionally overwhelmed he was when Shefali left to participate in Bigg Boss Season 13. His words not only reflect the deep love he had for her but also raise concern for his well-being during these trying times.
Opening up about how much he missed his wife while she was away for the reality show, Parag revealed that he didn’t truly understand the depth of his love for Shefali until she entered the Bigg Boss house. Speaking to Times of India TV, he said that those days helped him realise just how much she meant to him, as he missed her every single moment.
Recalling the emptiness he felt at home, Parag said he missed her most when something joyous happened. “I used to be awake the entire night thinking about how to tell her. I used to share with my parents, but I have always shared everything with her, and she was not there,” he added.
Proudly stating that he has no ego or issue in being known as “Shefali Jariwala’s husband”, Parag emphasised the importance of supporting each other’s dreams in a strong, lasting relationship. “I have also done a lot of work, but nothing makes me happier than being addressed as Shefali’s husband. It makes me proud, I am getting goosebumps right now,” he added.
Shefali, who rose to fame as the “Kaanta Laga Girl” in the early 2000s, was previously married to musician Harmeet Singh of Meet Brothers in 2004. The couple parted ways in 2009. After her separation from Harmeet, she began dating Parag Tyagi and the two eventually tied the knot in 2014. She passed away at the age of 42 on Friday (June 27) in Mumbai.
