Actress, Producer & host Nikita Rawal mourns the tragic demise of Shefali Jariwala, reveals an important mantra to monitor cardiac health regularly!

Mumbai:Actress, Producer & host Nikita Rawal is deeply saddened and shocked by the tragic news of Shefali Jariwala’s death. The news of her untimely death came in the wee hours of Saturday morning and it has taken the entire entertainment industry by shock and surprise. Shefali was unfortunately just 42 and the reason behind her death is reportedly said to be cardiac arrest.

Nikita Rawal who’s always admired Shefali for her positive attitude towards life is extremely upset with the heartbreaking news. She shares,

“It’s just so unfortunate. Whenever such an incident happens, we just realize that life is fragile and unpredictable and that anything can happen anytime with anyone. She was always so full of life and positivity and I am shocked how cardiac arrest is said to be the reason for her death. All I can say is that may her soul rest in peace and may God give her family and near ones the strength to bear with this unfortunate loss.”

Adding more on how individuals should try monitoring their heart health, she further shared,

“Right now, it’s no longer about age. You could be young, old or whatever but it’s important to take precaution. I suggest that we all should do ECGs and stress tests done frequently, at least twice or thrice in a year. If everything is fine then, we know we are good but if there’s anything that comes negative, we at least know we have time in our hands to fix that by bringing certain changes to our lifestyle and seeking professional medical help before it’s too late. I strongly feel these cases should be a learning curve for everyone to take their health more seriously, irrespective of how fit you look at the exterior or how young your age is.”

Nikita’s words certainly have a lot of merit and here’s hoping more and more people take her words very seriously to address the much-needed elephant in the room.
