Janhvi Kapoor Backs Varun Dhawan's Plea To Respect Privacy Following Shefali Jariwala's Death
Following the death of Shefali Jariwala, Varun Dhawan slammed media and urged camerapersons to respect the privacy of the family.
The sudden death of actress Shefali Jariwala has sparked a conversation around media sensitivity. On Saturday, as news of her passing spread, paparazzi were seen crowding around her grieving husband Parag Tyagi, drawing widespread criticism online. Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan condemned the intrusive behaviour, urging photographers to respect the privacy of the bereaved family during such difficult times. Now, his ‘Bawaal’ co-star Janhvi Kapoor has extended her support to his message. For those unaware, Varun took to Instagram on Sunday to call for more compassion and restraint while covering celebrity deaths.
“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 benefiting anyone? & my request to my friends in the media, this isn't the way someone would want their final journey covered,” he wrote.
It must be mentioned that Varun Dhawan did not mention anyone in his post but the note came right after Shefali Jariwala's death. It also needs to be stated that the post is no longer available on Varun Dhawan's Instagram as it seems to have been deleted.
Janhvi Kapoor had re-shared Varun Dhawan's post on Instagram Stories, saying, “Finally someone said it.”
However, even her Instagram Story remains unavailable to see now.
For the unversed, Shefali Jariwala died on June 27. She was rushed to the Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital by her husband, Parag Tyagi. She reportedly died after suffering a cardiac arrest.
According to news agency PTI, she was declared dead on arrival. The likes of Mika Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shehnaaz Gill, Mahira Sharma, Paras Chhabra, Hindustani Bhau, Arti Singh and Rashami Desai expressed shock as they paid their last respects at her funeral on Saturday.
Parag immersed Shefali's ashes in the sea on Sunday.
