Shefali passed away on the night of June 27 after allegedly suffering a cardiac arrest.

According to the reports, the Mumbai police received a distress call at 1 AM on Friday night. Parag rushed Shefali to the Cooper Hospital, however, she was declared dead on arrival.

Meanwhile, actor Varun Dhawan slammed the media for their coverage of Shefali's demise.

Taking to his Instagram stories, Varun dropped a note schooling the media over unethical coverage. The 'October' actor even urged the media to be respectful in covering the news.

Varun's note read, “Again one more passing of a soul being insensitively covered by the media. I just don't understand why do u have to cover someone's grief. Everyone looks so uncomfortable with this, how is this benefitting anyone? My request to my friends in the media this isn't the way someone would want their final journey covered (sic)”.
