Her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, rushed her to the hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.

“She was brought to the hospital around 11:15 pm. The on-duty doctor declared her dead on arrival,” a hospital source said.

As per media reports, Jariwala died of a heart attack though there was no official statement yet from the family or her representatives.

The last post she shared on X was an emotional tribute “thinking of you today mere dost" to her late friend and former boyfriend Sidharth Shukla.

Sidharth passed away under similar circumstances in 2021 due to a cardiac arrest. She perhaps discontinued the social media platform as the 'Kaanta Laga' girl never wrote or posted anything on X after that.

On his death anniversary, she shared a throwback photo of the two hugging warmly during their Bigg Boss stint and wrote, “Thinking of you today mere dost @sidharth_shukla."
