Reports say Tyagi and Jariwala flew to Delhi and drove to Modinagar near Ghaziabad, the actor's hometown, for the last rites.

Shefali Jariwala became a popular name in the entertainment industry after the massive success of her song, Kaanta Laga, in 2002. She even participated in the reality show, Bigg Boss 13, last year, and entered the house as a wild card entry.
