Shefali Jariwala's untimely demise left her family, friends and the industry in a state of shock. Shefali's husband Parag Tyagi, who has been been sharing and documenting his life after his wife's death, recently claimed that he felt certain things around the incident were unusual. In a chat with IANS, he mentioned that he believes black magic may have been involved.

Speaking exclusively to IANS, Parag said that certain things felt extremely unnatural to him. However, he pointed out that he does not blame anyone and has left everything to God.

On being asked about his claims of experiencing some negative energy or black magic involved. Parag said, "There were certain things that felt very unfortunate and unnatural to me. We were extremely health-conscious. We used to get regular blood tests and health check-ups done every few months. At that time, I was already spiritually connected and deeply devoted to Lord Hanuman."

He added, "During that phase, I strongly felt that something was not right, although I could not fully understand it then. Over time, between 2021 and 2024, I started understanding many things more deeply. I personally felt that something unnatural had happened."

However, Parag clarified that he does not blame anyone. "I believe in God, karma, and divine timing. I connect with God every single day, and I believe that when the right time comes, the truth will reveal itself naturally. I leave everything in God’s hands," he concluded.

When asked if work has helped him stay emotionally strong during this difficult phase of his life, Parag shared, "People often say you should stay busy, but constantly staying busy can also become a form of escapism. No one can work twenty-four hours a day".

The 'Aghoori' actor revealed that the one thing that truly helped him was "spirituality and our Sanatan philosophy".

"When you connect with spirituality, it does not make you forget your pain, but it gives you the strength to deal with it," he added.

"Today’s youth often lose themselves either in excessive work or in distractions and desires. Both can misguide a person for some time. Real strength comes from spirituality, faith, culture, and inner connection with God, regardless of which religion you belong to," concluded Parag.
