Varun Dhawan slams ‘insensitive coverage’ of Shefali Jariwala’s death
Varun Dhawan took to his Instagram on Sunday and urged the paparazzi to be sensitive while covering the death of a celebrity. He wrote, “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.”
A look at his post
The paps were seen trying to cover every moment of Parag and Shefali’s relatives and friends who visited a hospital or their residence to pay their last respects. A video of Shefali’s mother crying inconsolably after knowing about her daughter’s death left everyone shocked. Parag told the paps to not record and make way for him as he arrived at Cooper Hospital after his late wife’s body was taken for post-mortem.
Parag performed the last rites of Shefali and was seen requesting the paparazzi with folded hands to remember her in their prayers. He said, “Mazak, drama mat banaiyega, main sabse request karta hoon (I request everyone not to turn this into a drama). Please pray for my pari (angel). Please pray for her peace. Please aap bandh kijiyega (Please stop this now).”
