Mumbai (nytoday): Nearly a year after the sudden death of renowned Indian actress Shefali Zariwala, the case has once again drawn public attention following controversial remarks by her husband, Prag Tyagi. Shefali, who gained nationwide fame through the hit song Kaanta Laga, passed away in June 2025 at the age of 42.
At the time, medical reports confirmed that Shefali died due to cardiac arrest, a condition in which the heart suddenly stops functioning. Hospital authorities and medical experts have consistently maintained this conclusion, stating there were no other contributing medical factors.
However, in a recent podcast appearance, Prag Tyagi presented a different personal belief regarding his wife’s death. He claimed that he does not believe medical reasons alone explain what happened and alleged that black magic may have played a role. Acknowledging that many people may dismiss such ideas, Prag said he firmly believes external forces were involved.
He stated that he sensed unusual occurrences on multiple occasions and felt that “something was not right.” According to him, even during prayer and worship, he noticed changes in Shefali that deeply concerned him. Prag added that although they had previously overcome similar negative phases, this time the situation felt far more intense.
Despite these claims, doctors and hospital officials have reiterated that Shefali Zariwala’s death was caused by a heart attack, and no evidence has emerged to support allegations beyond the medical findings.
