Shefali Jariwala was just a nineteen-year-old teen when she was offered her 'life changing's song Kaanta Laga. The actress was studying engineering when director duo Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru spotted her outside college and offered her the music video of the Kaanta Laga remix. The song changed Shefali's life as she became a household name after it and even managed to make her way to the showbiz.
In an interview with a leading daily, Shefali credited Kaanta Laga for her success and revealed that her father was initially against her doing the song. “I was in college then and I come from a family of academicians, so my parents told me to focus on my studies. But I wanted to do it because I was getting paid for it. I earned Rs 7,000 from that song, and I wanted to see myself on TV,” she said.
Though Shefali was keen to take up the offer, her father was not in favour of it. “My father was completely against it. So first, I took my mom into confidence and then, we both convinced my father. And that song turned out to be such a hit that it was like a fairytale for me. It changed my life completely,” she said.
On the work front, Shefali made headlines for her successful stint in Bigg Boss 13. She became the only wild card contestant who managed to stay for the longest time in the house.
