Parag Tyagi breaks silence on rumours around Shefali Jariwala’s death: ‘If anti-ageing injections existed, everyone would take them’

Parag Tyagi has once again reacted to the rumours surrounding wife Shefali Jariwala’s death on June 27, 2025, and dismissed several bizarre claims circulating on social media.In a recent conversation with Filmygyan, Parag clarified that Shefali never took injections for dieting, fairness or anti-ageing purposes and urged people to stop believing “WhatsApp University.”During the interview, Parag was asked about rumours claiming that Shefali allegedly took certain injections that affected her health. Reacting strongly, he said he was surprised by the stories being spread online.Parag revealed that Shefali followed a normal lifestyle and enjoyed regular home-cooked food.“Hum log normal khaana khate the. Dal, sabzi, roti sab. Protein intake zyada tha, but everything was normal. She was the fittest at this point of time in her entire life,” he said.He also recalled how the family enjoyed food together and laughed off rumours that Shefali was dependent on injections to suppress hunger.“Hum Chinese khaate the, noodles khaate the, ice cream khaate the. Bhookh na lagne wale injections ki zarurat hi kya thi?” he said.Reacting to another rumour claiming that Shefali used anti-ageing injections, Parag Tyagi sarcastically said, “Please mujhe bhi bata do. Agar young rehne ka injection hota toh sab le lete. Parents ko bhi lagwa dete.”He further added, “Agar aisa hota toh Ratan Tata ji bhi aaj zinda hote.”Parag admitted that while people continue making assumptions online, he has now made peace with the situation.“Jab aana hota hai toh aana hota hai. You can’t control it,” he said.Apart from addressing rumours, Parag also opened up about the emotional trauma he experienced after Shefali’s demise. He admitted that accepting the reality was the toughest part.“Ek second mein life completely change ho gayi. Main numb ho chuka tha,” he shared.The actor said he still feels Shefali’s presence around him and believes she continues to guide him every day.“She comes in my dreams. She helps me and guides me. She is still with us,” he said emotionally.Remembering their bond, Parag called Shefali his mentor, best friend and biggest support system.“She is my backbone. She taught me everything. Main unko guru maanta hoon,” he said.He also revealed that one of Shefali’s biggest dreams was to start a foundation focused on girls’ education and empowerment.“She wanted girls and women to become self-dependent and strong,” he shared, adding that he now wants to fulfil her dream himself.Towards the end of the interaction, Parag also spoke about getting a tattoo dedicated to Shefali. He revealed that their daughter Pari insisted that the tattoo should include sindoor because “she was a suhagan.”“Woh zindagi bhar mere saath rahegi,” Parag said.
