Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 29 (ANI): Actor Varun Dhawan has called out the paparazzi for documenting the grief of family and friends following the tragic death of actress Shefali Jariwala.

Varun shared a message on his Instagram Stories, asking for 'sensitivity' and 'respect' from the media while covering the death of a celebrity.

'Again, one more passing of a soul being insensitively covered by the media.

Shefali Jariwala passed away late Friday night. Her husband rushed her to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai; however, doctors declared her brought dead. Early reports suggested a cardiac arrest, but the exact cause of death is still not confirmed.
