Addressing rumours about anti-ageing medicines
He further addressed the rumours about Shefali taking anti-ageing medicines that might have caused her demise. He shared, “What anti-aging are people talking about? Shefali didn’t want to take multivitamins every day, so she took them once a month: Vitamin C, collagen, and glutathione. These are antioxidants, not anti-ageing drugs.”Meanwhile, Parag launched the Shefali Jariwala Rise Foundation in her memory to support underprivileged children and to empower women.
