Divya Delhi: Fame from Bigg Boss 13 and Kaanta Laga Shefali Jariwala, 42, passed away on Friday night following what was said to be a heart attack. On Saturday, friends and relatives came to Mumbai to pay their final respects at her dying rituals. The paparazzi that were there were criticized all day long for forcing their cameras into Shefali's friends' and family's faces. Even her spouse, Parag Tyagi, begged the journalists to stop bothering him. Actor Varun Dhawan of Bollywood has already voiced his disapproval at the "insensitive coverage." Varun encouraged the paparazzi to exercise tact when documenting a celebrity's death on Instagram on Sunday. "One more soul passing being insensitively covered by the media," he wrote. Why you have to conceal someone's grief is beyond me. Everyone appears really uneasy about this. How does anyone stand to gain from this? & my plea to my media friends: This isn't how someone would want their last voyage to be reported. Every moment when Parag and Shefali's friends and family paid condolence visits to the hospital or their home was captured by the paparazzi. On the internet, a video of Shefali's mother sobbing uncontrollably after hearing of her daughter's passing appeared. At Cooper Hospital, where Shefali's body was brought for a post-mortem, Parag was also seen begging the photographers to stop filming him and to give him space.
