Parag Tyagi, husband of the late Shefali Jariwala, has shared an emotional tribute remembering her as a selfless soul who was “sab ki maa” and urged fans to avoid speculation about her passing.
A Heartfelt First Statement
For the first time since her untimely death at 42, actor Parag Tyagi has opened up about the profound loss of his wife, Shefali Jariwala. In a poignant Instagram post, he shared his grief and cherished memories of the beloved personality.

“So Much More Than What Met the Eye”

She was a woman who lived with intention, quietly nurturing her career, mind, body, and soul with unwavering determination. This dedication, he noted, was a testament to her inner strength and quiet resilience.
A Life Lived for Others: “Sab Ki Maa”
Parag Tyagi lovingly recalled how Shefali nurtured every relationship in her life. He affectionately labeled her “sab ki maa” – everyone’s mother – for her innate ability to put others first, offering comfort and warmth simply through her presence.
Beyond her public image, she was a generous daughter, a devoted and affectionate wife, and a wonderful mom to their pet, Simba.

Her Lasting Legacy
Tyagi concluded his emotional message with a simple prayer: that the space dedicated to Shefali be filled only with love, healing memories, and stories that keep her spirit alive. He wished for her legacy to be that of a “soul so radiant, she will never, ever be forgotten.”
