After finishing her studies, she stepped into the entertainment industry and rose to fame with the hit pop song ‘Kaanta Laga’ in the early 2000s. Around the same time, she married music director Harmeet Singh from the popular duo Meet Brothers in 2004. However, their relationship didn’t last, and they separated in 2009. The end of her first marriage left Shefali emotionally cautious, and she wasn’t sure if she would be able to fall in love again.Despite her initial doubts about finding love again, destiny had different plans as she met Parag Tyagi at a party. Known for his roles in Pavitra Rishta and Jodhaa Akbar, Parag connected with Shefali through simple, everyday conversations that slowly grew into a warm friendship.At first, she was hesitant to open up, but Parag’s calm, caring, and respectful nature helped break down her walls. He supported her through difficult times, never rushed their bond, and made her feel truly valued.

When her music video 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. She loves her parents and looks after them like a son would. She also looks after my parents.“Shefali and Parag’s Journey TogetherShefali and Parag got married on August 12, 2014, after delaying their wedding due to the actor’s father’s health issues.
