Parag Tyagi Pens Heartbreaking Note for Late Wife Shefali Jariwala: 'Love You Till Eternity'

Paras Chabra comes in support of Parag Tyagi

Following Shefali's demise on June 27, a video of Parag walking Simba around the building, with a picture of his late wife, circulated on social media. While many could read the pain in Parag’s eyes, a fraction of netizens trolled the actor for taking his dog out for a walk. Paras Chhabra, a contestant from Bigg Boss 13 alongside Shefali, replied to the trolls via an interview with IANS, where he said, “Shefali and Parag were very close to their pet. He was a family member to them. Three members were living together in a house, and one of them is suddenly gone. In such a situation, you should understand Parag’s mental state. He would want to keep him even closer and very close to his heart.”


“There is a sense of fear and longing at the same time. People might think it’s strange, but since I know them closely, I understood his psychology. Moreover, their pet has grown old and cannot see properly. So, Parag’s responsibility towards him increases even more,” he concluded.

Reacting to the same video and people trolling Parag earlier, Rashmi Desai also urged netizens to be kind towards the family during the challenging times and highlighted Simba's bond with Parag and Shefali.
