Shefali became an overnight sensation in the early 2000s with her electrifying appearance in the remix video Kaanta Laga, which not only defined a generation of pop culture but earned her a place in the hearts of millions.

Over the years, she made her mark on reality television, appearing in Nach Baliye with her husband Parag Tyagi and later entering Bigg Boss 13, where her presence reignited public interest due to her past with fellow contestant Sidharth Shukla, who has also since passed away.

Actor Aly Goni shared a simple but poignant message on Instagram: “RIP Shefali.” Celebrities including Rajiv Adatia and Kamya Panjabi also posted emotional messages, remembering Shefali as a radiant soul who left too soon.
