Parag Tyagi, husband of late television actress Shefali Jariwala, has issued a strong response to online trolls criticizing him for sharing posts in her memory just days after her death. In a recent message shared via Shefali’s official Instagram account, Parag addressed the negativity, defending his decision to keep her social media presence alive as a tribute to her legacy and connection with fans.

Shefali Jariwala, best known for her appearance in the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga and for participating in Bigg Boss 13, passed away on July 11, 2024.

In his statement, Parag wrote, “For those who are trying to garner attention by saying I shall not post so soon—bhai, sab log aapki tarah nahi hote. Pari loved to be on social media and enjoyed the love poured to her.” He further added that while he has never been someone who frequently used social media, he now feels a responsibility to keep her memory alive. “Now she is in my heart, and I will make sure she is being loved by everyone forever. She is going to be on social media even if she is not around,” he wrote.
