NDTV Exclusive: How Shefali Jariwala Became The 'Kaanta Laga Girl', Recounts Co-Director Vinay Sapru

All of 19, innocent and just like the human incarnate of the Disney princess Snow White.

This was Shefali Jariwala when the Kaanta Laga co-directors Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao first spotted their "DJ Doll" while driving on Mumbai's famed Linking Road before they cast her in the popular remix video of the song, originally from the 1972 film Samadhi. After the video became a rage across the country, back in 2002, Shefali Jariwala went viral at a time when viral was not even a term in pop culture.

Vinay Sapru, one-half of the director duo behind Kaanta Laga, spoke to NDTV in an exclusive interview where he remembered Shefali Jariwala as a thorough professional who was content being the Kaanta Laga girl, a destiny's child who was all heart, and grateful. He also spoke about how conspiracy theories around her untimely death is an organic phenomenon.
