Actor Parag Tyagi (Pavitra Rishta) is in a state of shock after the sudden demise of his wife, Shefali Jariwala.

The 42-year-old's cause of her death is still unclear, as per the Mumbai Police.

Her body was found at her Andheri residence around 1:00am on Saturday, and has been sent for a post-mortem at Cooper Hospital.

Tyagi and Jariwala were married since 2014, and the duo often spoke about their loving relationship.

In a past interview with Masala, Tyagi had said, "Shefali is a sweetheart. When her music video (Kaanta Laga) was out, people had another image of her, but she was completely the opposite of her screen image."

"She is a girl any guy would love to have as a wife. She is very caring, and it shows. To judge a person, you need to look into what is happening in his or her home."
