Shefali Jariwala, fondly known as the “Kaanta Laga Girl,” was a popular Indian actress, model, and television personality whose rise to fame reshaped the landscape of Indian pop culture in the early 2000s. Born on December 15, 1982, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Shefali pursued her education in Information Technology before the world of entertainment came calling.

Her life changed overnight with the release of the remix music video Kaanta Laga in 2002.
