When Shefali Jariwala defended Kaanta Laga song:

In a shocking turn of events, Shefali Jariwala, best known as the iconic Kaanta Laga girl, passed away today. The cause of her sudden death remains unknown, but the news has left fans and the entertainment industry in deep shock and mourning. As tributes pour in, we look back at one of her old interview where she fiercely defended the music video that made her a household name.

In a conversation with ETimes, Shefali had said, "Kaanta Laga was not bold. If you see, I was totally covered. There was no cleavage show, no short clothes. It was about a girl who was a rebel. It was the attitude that people found bold, more than the appearance." She added that the character's vibe reflected her own personality, no-nonsense, headstrong, and unapologetically independent.

She even revealed that during the shoot of the song, she was still in college. "I had to promise my parents that I would not let my studies suffer. My father also made me promise I would never quit my education." True to her word, Shefali completed her engineering degree despite being flooded with offers from the film and music industry after the song’s sensational success.

Confidently added that there can't be another Kaanta Laga girl. "I feel great because people work so hard all their life to create an identity of their own and my first song itself created such a strong identity for me. There can't be another Kaanta Laga girl and it's just me. I feel I am very blessed and lucky that I did not have to struggle and my debut song gave me such a strong identity. I love it when people call me the Kaanta Laga girl all over the world when I travel for shows. I am still called to perform on Kaanta Laga and I happily do it. Not a single day passes, when I am not thankful for the opportunity that I got. It was a dream opportunity that anybody can have."
