In a heart-wrenching scene outside Mumbai's Cooper Hospital, Vikas Fhatak, known widely as Hindustani Bhau, expressed his deep sorrow over the sudden death of actress Shefali Jariwala. The former Bigg Boss 13 contestant was found dead at her Andheri home, prompting the need for a post-mortem examination.

Choking back tears, Fhatak, who shared a sibling bond with Jariwala, lamented the loss. 'Behen thi wo meri,' he told the media, reiterating their strong connection formed on Bigg Boss 13 in 2019. The Raksha Bandhan tradition they kept alive had cemented Vikas as her protector, he recounted.
