MUMBAI | June 2025 — In a deeply emotional and unexpected turn, global icon Priyanka Chopra has spoken out publicly for the first time about the viral postmortem report of actress and dancer Shefali Jariwala, whose mysterious death has left the entire nation reeling.

Visibly shaken and teary-eyed during a press appearance in New York, Priyanka delivered a shocking and heartfelt statement that has since gone viral itself — leaving fans stunned and demanding answers.

😢 “She deserved truth, not silence.” — Priyanka’s Powerful Words

“I’ve stayed quiet out of respect. But after reading what was in that report, I couldn’t stay silent anymore,”
— Priyanka Chopra, visibly emotional

Priyanka was referring to the recently leaked CBI postmortem report that confirmed Shefali’s death was not natural, and may have involved chemical sedation, physical trauma, and possible foul play — contradicting earlier claims that her passing was due to a surgical complication.

“Shefali didn’t die because of a failed treatment. She died because someone wanted her silenced,” Priyanka added, her voice cracking.
