Television actor Parag Tyagi took to social media to clarify the rumors regarding his pet dog Simba’s health, which emerged following the death of his wife, Shefali Jariwala.
Tyagi has denied allegations concerning his pet dog Simba being unwell. He shared a video on Instagram where he was seen with Simba, distributing food to the underprivileged in Mumbai. In the footage, Tyagi handed out food packets to elderly women, who offered blessings to both him and Simba. Along with the post, Parag confirmed that Simba is healthy and actively participating in the rituals being conducted for Shefali, who passed away last month. He also criticized “some heartless individuals” for spreading unfounded rumors about Simba’s condition. Parag Tyagi stated, “Simba is Hail & Hearty and doing all the rituals to be done by a son for his mom. This video is for all those wonderful people who were genuinely concerned about our baby Simba because of some heartless people spreading false news about our baby Simba’s health just to gain a few likes and views. I would like to thank everyone who is truly concerned about Simba. God bless you all #shefalijariwala.”
Just a day after Shefali’s passing, Parag was seen walking Simba, which attracted criticism from some individuals on social media.
Paras Chhabra recently revealed that Shefali Jariwala and Parag Tyagi shared a profound bond with their pet dog, treating him as a genuine family member. The three lived together, and Shefali’s unexpected death has created a significant emotional void in their lives. “Shefali and Parag were very close to their pet. He was a family member to them. Three members were living together in a house, and one of them is suddenly gone. In such a situation, one should understand Parag’s mental state. He would want to keep him even closer and very dear to his heart. There is a sense of fear and longing simultaneously. People might find it odd, but since I know them well, I understood his psychology. Furthermore, their pet has aged and cannot see properly.
