Shefali Jariwala’s untimely death has left the industry and media members shocked. As per reports, the 42-year-old star was taking anti-ageing treatment. After her demise, the debate of whether these drugs should be taken or not heated up on social media.
Amid this, Kareena Kapoor’s statement, where she spoke against botox treatment, grabbed eyeballs on social media. “I am against Botox. I am for natural remedies and self-defence to stay healthy, feel good. Self-defence also means protecting yourself and your talent… because this is my weapon,” said Kareena while talking to Barkha Dutt.
“This means defending myself and my talent, because it is my biggest weapon. Instead of going under the needle and knife, a better way to protect yourself is to take a vacation and spend quality time with your friends and family,” she added.
During the investigation, one of the biggest details that came out was Shefali ’s unsupervised and long-term usage of skin whitening and anti-ageing treatments, particularly glutathione and Vitamin C.
She was taking these treatments for eight years without active medical supervision after initial consultation, said police sources.
As per reports, a stockpile of anti-ageing pills, multivitamins, and glutathione vials was found in Shefali’s room, which was on her table, and even inside her fridge.
