Shefali’s story was one of compassion strength and purpose. While her journey was tragically cut short her words and intentions continue to echo shedding light on a woman who believed in giving love selflessly. Shefali Jariwala will be remembered not only for her stardom but also for the kindness that defined her off-screen persona. After the sudden and untimely demise of Shefali Jariwala the industry is in deep shock and pain. Widely known for her iconic debut in the music video Kaanta Laga Shefali captivated the audience right from the start. The graceful and impactful actress was also seen in Bigg Boss 13. However besides her wide popularity because of her craft online she was also known for breaking notions in her personal life- whether it was about spreading awareness about mental health standing up for herself and re-marrying or her unrelenting desire to adopt a child and give them a home. Shefalis Unfulfilled Wish of Adopting a Baby Girl Back in the day Shefali Jariwala once opened up about her wish to adopt a child. She always wanted to adopt a baby girl. This wasnt a sudden thought; in fact she was only 10 or 12 when she first got the idea of adoption in her mind. This desire stayed with her throughout her life. After marrying Parag Tyagi she expressed this wish to him and Parag wasnt initially onboard with the idea; however later during her stint in Bigg Boss 13 Parag seriously considered this plan and the duo wanted to extend their family. Parag said You have to become a mother—whether you give birth or adopt the choice is yours and I’ll stand by it. Convincing Her Family Members While her husband and his family showed unwavering support Shefalis family members were not fully convinced of her idea of adoption. She revealed that some of her family members were not in alignment with her idea of adoption but she believed that with time they would understand and support her in the same way Parag did. Shefali was always of the belief that motherhood wasnt defined by biology but rather by the love and bond that mattered more. “I’ve always wanted to give a child a safe environment good education and a beautiful life. God has already blessed me with so much. I feel it’s only right to share those blessings” she had said. In a recent podcast with her co-contestant Paras Chabbra she said Apne bachhon ko toh sab pyaar karte hai bada vo hota hai jo kisi aur ka bacha apne ghar pe laye. She also stated that the decision to adopt a child is very big and strong and everyone needs to be on the same page in the family to be able to further take that decision. For everybody to agree it took a long time. Nasib mein hoga humare ghar mein aana toh ayega she had said. Adoption challenges in India She also spoke about the challenges and complexities of the adoption process in India. She even stated that many couples lose hope halfway because of the elongated legal processes and paperwork. “Adoption isn’t easy in our country. There’s a lot of paperwork long waiting periods and emotional challenges.” In a throwback interview Shefali also revealed that she was inspired by Sunny Leones decision to adopt a baby girl. She even expressed this desire to her Rakhi brother Hindustani Bahu in Bigg Boss 13. While Shefalis desire remained unfilled because of her untimely death her openness about adopting a kid and thoughts on parenthood not being defined biologically spoke volumes.
