Indian actress Shefali Jariwala’s sudden death due to cardiac arrest has shocked the world, including her fans in Pakistan. She rose to fame in 2002 after appearing in the remix version of the old Bollywood song Kanta Laga. The 42-year-old actress was known for her fitness; she regularly went to the gym, exercised, and underwent various weight loss and anti-aging procedures. Her unexpected passing has sparked a debate on social media, and several Pakistani celebrities are also discussing it.
Recently, one of Pakistan’s most prominent Islamic scholars, Mufti Tariq Masood, weighed in on her sudden death and the lesson people should take from it.
Talking about her sudden death, Mufti Tariq Masood said, “Recently, a famous Indian actress passed away. People told me she was so famous and had multiple hit songs, but passed away suddenly. I asked, “People must have taken a lesson from her death?” Then I heard her dead body was burnt. I asked if people took any lesson from it. Especially, Hindus might have taken the lesson — but what I heard in the reply was, people have been posting her songs, videos, and are adding up to her sins. We should take lesson from such death, but I have seen us people don’t take lesson; instead, they tribute them. Some of the scenes in Hindu last rites are scary to watch — they themselves burn their loved ones and give them pain. This is why we should be thankful that we are born to Muslim families.”
He further added that this life is like a temporary journey where we don’t need unnecessary luggage. Here is the link to the video:
