Following the untimely death of Shefali Jariwala, Arti Singh has voiced her support for Parag Tyagi, Shefali's husband, and has condemned the trolls who are criticizing him. Shefali Jariwala, known for her role in the music video "Kaanta Laga" and as a contestant on Bigg Boss 13, passed away on June 27, leaving her family and friends in deep sorrow.

Arti Singh, who shared a close bond with Shefali, both inside and outside the Bigg Boss house, expressed her grief and defended Parag against accusations that he was using Shefali's death for fame. Singh reminisced about their friendship, recalling how Shefali supported her during her wedding preparations and was always a positive and caring person. She shared an emotional note on social media, expressing disbelief at Shefali's sudden passing and recounting their recent meeting at the gym.

The criticism against Parag Tyagi arose after he shared posts on social media dedicated to his late wife. Some people accused him of trying to gain attention from Shefali's death, which led to backlash from Arti Singh and others. Arti slammed the trolls, labeling them "losers of first order" for judging Parag during such a difficult time.

Parag himself responded to the negativity, stating that he intends to keep Shefali's memory alive and ensure she continues to receive love from her fans. He emphasized that he has never been a social media person but will now use it to cherish and share her memories. He added, "I don't care about the judgement u negative people having. I don't care about u but I do care about all the lovely people who loved her still love her and will always love her".

Adding to the controversy, a video of Parag walking their dog, Simba, shortly after Shefali’s death also drew criticism. Some questioned his actions during such a tragic time. However, Paras Chhabra, another Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant and friend, defended Parag, explaining the deep bond between Shefali, Parag, and Simba. Paras emphasized that Simba was like their child and has become an even more vital emotional support for Parag after Shefali's passing.

Parag also addressed rumors about Simba's health, clarifying that their dog is healthy and an integral part of the rituals following Shefali’s death. He shared a video of them feeding the needy, stating that Simba is "doing all the rituals to be done by a son for his mom". He condemned those spreading false news and asked for humanity.

Arti Singh's support for Parag Tyagi highlights the importance of empathy and understanding during times of grief. The backlash Parag faced underscores the often harsh and judgmental nature of social media, even in the face of personal tragedy.
