New Delhi, July 03: The sudden demise of 42-year-old Shefali Jariwala, best known for her iconic appearance in the Kaanta Laga music video, has triggered a storm of speculation online, with several posts linking her death to the COVID-19 vaccine. Public interest in the death of 42-year-old Shefali Jariwala is fueled by growing concerns over rising heart attacks among middle-aged individuals, including several well-known celebrities. However, official findings and expert statements contradict these claims. According to her doctor, Shefali had been undergoing anti-ageing treatment for the past eight years. On June 27, after receiving a routine anti-ageing injection that included Glutathione and Vitamin C, she reportedly fell ill between 10 and 11 pm. She experienced trembling, lost consciousness, and was declared dead at a hospital soon after. Preliminary findings indicate low blood pressure, cardiac arrest, and severe gastric distress. Anti-ageing drug side effects, including bloating, have also come under scrutiny.

While social media has tried to draw a connection between her death and COVID-19 vaccination, there is no evidence supporting such claims. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued a clear statement, citing comprehensive studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and AIIMS, which found no causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden cardiac deaths.
