For all those who are new to the party, they wouldn't know the kind of hysteria and popularity Shefali Jariwala saw back in 2002 when her song Kaanta Laga came out. That was perhaps the beginning of the trend of remixing classic songs for the newer generation. Shefali was an instant rage and even featured with Akshay Kumar in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi for the same song. Recently, she was seen in the Bigg Boss 13 house as a wildcard entrant.
Shefali is also a fitness freak and pays a lot of attention to her fitness, but her road to being healthy was not easy. In a recent interview, she revealed she was epileptic and had her first seizure at the age of 15. Speaking to The Times of India, "I was 15 years old when I had my first epileptic seizure. Yes, I was an epileptic. The medication that I had to take because of the condition caused a lot of weight gain. Shortly after that, I did a music video which was a big hit after that I was really busy with work, dancing all the time. I had to keep my energy levels up and also look good on camera. That's when I realised I need to shed a few kilos and I went to the gym for the very first time, so my fitness journey started from there about 20 years ago and it has a whole new meaning today."
