Shefali Jariwala’s death has left the entertainment industry and fans in shock. The 42-year-old passed away due to cardiac arrest.

In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Mini talked about the pressure women faced to a maintain a certain appearance in the public eye. The actress said, “It’s not a glamorous conversation to have, but the fact is that people need to talk about these issues publicly so that the level of awareness increases. I’m not here to judge anyone who chooses to get treatments or cosmetic enhancements. But I firmly believe there’s no point in looking good if you’re not feeling great on the inside.”

Mini also opened up about the speculation around Shefali’s passing and said, “I am not qualified to talk about this. I don’t know what her medical reports say, and I don’t believe everything I read online. Unless a certified doctor verifies something, we can’t really know what happened.”
The actress stated that the usage of supplements like glutathione or energising vitamin drips are common among celebrities. She said, “There’s nothing wrong with taking health-boosting supplements, but everything should be under proper medical guidance. No one is a doctor here, and you never know how your body may react. That’s why I never take chances.”
Mini said, “I check and double-check everything. If a needle goes into my body, I make sure it’s from a sealed package. I’m paranoid about safety—and rightfully so. Too many things can go wrong if you’re careless. Yes, I take a lot of supplements, but I always consult professionals. Supervision is paramount.”
Mini Mathur is known for her work in I, Me aur Main, Dil Vil Pyar Vyar, Khwahish, The Storytellers in the Living Room and Mind the Malhotras to name a few.
