According to Mumbai Police, her autopsy was conducted and the opinion about her cause of death has been 'reserved.' The officials stated that they do not suspect any foul play in the death of Shefali and suspect that she may have died due to a cardiac arrest.

Shefali had been undergoing special treatment for the past 5-6 years to maintain a youthful appearance.

Shefali first rose to fame with the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga, which became a massive hit/
