Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 28 : Calling Shefali Jariwala a "happy-go-lucky" girl, 'Kaanta Laga' music director Harry Anand prayed for the departed soul.
Speaking with ANI, Harry walked down memory lane and opened up about collaborating with Shefali on the iconic song 'Kaanta Laga'.
"Shefali was a happy-go-lucky girl. I vividly remember the time I spent with her during the 'Kanta Laga' shoot and other songs. She was extremely sweet, and she always met me with a smile on her face. I am in shock. It's hard to believe that Shefali is no more," Harry grieved.
"Woh apne saath Kaanta Laga song ko humesha ke liye amar bana gayi. There will not be another Kanta Laga song and another Kanta Laga girl. She will be extremely missed. May God give strength to her family and friends," Harry said.
Harry also penned an emotional note on Instagram.
He wrote, "Shefali..it was a delight to work with you on our iconic hits. You will be missed and will always be remembered like you said as the one and ONLY 'Kaanta Laga Girl'.
These CDs back then caused a rage, overnight, Shefali was known worldwide with her incredible performance on these tracks. It was destined to be. The second clip is from my other song 'Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar' where Shefali performed phenomenally, which again turned out to be a massive hit. I am still processing this..Life is too short and unfair at times May your soul rest in peace dear. Om shanti."
