Among those who paid tribute was global star Priyanka Chopra. Sharing a heartfelt message on her Instagram stories alongside a photo of Shifali, Chopra wrote, “So shook. She was too young. Sending condolences to Parag and the family.” Actor Varun Dhawan also expressed his sorrow, but used the moment to criticize the media’s handling of the tragedy. In a strongly worded Instagram post, he commented, “The insensitive way the media is covering someone’s death—I don’t understand why you need to cover someone’s grief. What good will it do?”

Confusion Over Cause of Death

Initial reports suggested that Shifali died of cardiac arrest. However, new information has cast doubt on this claim. According to family sources, Shifali was observing a religious fast on June 27th. Her blood pressure reportedly dropped in the evening, leading to dizziness and a sudden collapse. She tragically passed away while being transported to the hospital.

A postmortem was conducted at Cooper Hospital the following day, but the official cause of death has not yet been disclosed, with the report still marked as “reserved.”

Medical History and Police Findings

During the police investigation, Shifali’s partner told authorities that she had taken her usual anti-aging pills and a skin-enhancing injection that afternoon—treatments she had been using for years under medical supervision. However, police discovered two boxes of skin whitening pills, including glutathione supplements, at her home. The family admitted that Shifali had been self-medicating without a prescription, but insisted that she had never experienced any issues in the past.

As the investigation continues, fans and loved ones await clarity on the circumstances surrounding Shifali’s tragic demise.
