Just days before her sudden passing, actress Shefali Jariwala had planned to join a major health campaign focused on women’s well-being. The event, scheduled for 17 July, was a part of the DISA (Digital Innovations & Interventions for Sustainable Healthtech Action) initiative, aimed at promoting women’s health with government support.
Shefali had agreed to participate in the event alongside her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, and other known personalities. According to the makers of her last show Showstoppers, she was deeply involved in spreading awareness about women’s healthcare issues through her role in the series.
