The actor has put to rest some of the black magic talk that has been making the rounds. In a 17 May 2026 interview, he was open about how he has felt things were not as they should be, but he is in no mood to lay blame and will let the truth come out when it does.
Tyagi, of course, is no stranger to TV with shows like Pavitra Rishta and Jodha Akbar, and he is unambiguous on this. He is a man of God, of karma, and of divine timing; you could say he has a daily rapport with the higher power.
He has made a point to stay out of the fray and let the speculation be. His way of handling it is to be patient, not to make a scene.
The ‘unnatural’ feeling and black magic chatter
You might have heard him before allude to some kind of negative energy, which set off some debate. What put him in that headspace? He says there were things about Shefali’s passing that just didn’t sit right with him.
Unfortunate, yes. Unnatural, too. But he won’t put a name to it or pin down a cause. Some feelings are hard to put into words.
Health checks and a lingering doubt
For his part, he and Shefali were very particular about their health. They were on top of it, with check-ups and blood work every few months. And yet, he had an inexplicable sense of unease that, in time, became a certainty that something was amiss.
Looking back at 2021 to 2024, he says the dots started to connect, and his conviction that something was off only grew.
Don’t for a second think it was the job that got him through. Tyagi will tell you that being busy can be a cover-up; you can’t put in twenty-four hours a day.
Faith as coping, not escape
What has been his refuge is not a full calendar, but devotion. He has found a lot in his connection with Lord Hanuman.
Here is how Tyagi frames his coping toolkit in his own life and words:
– He believes in God, karma, and divine timing
– He connects with God every single day
– He leaves everything in God’s hands
– Constant busyness can turn into escapism
He has a word for the younger generation, and it is not one of those empty soundbites. The grind and the constant noise can throw you for a loop. Where you find your backbone is in your culture, in your faith, in a relationship with God – any religion.
What he wants the youth to hear
If you want an easy way out, you won’t get it from him. "Spirituality doesn't take the pain away,” he says, “it lets you bear it.”
Here are Tyagi’s takeaways for anyone navigating loss or pressure:
– Real strength comes from spirituality and inner connection
– Excessive work or distractions can misguide you
– Spirituality helps you deal with pain without denying it
He is not here to play detective or make accusations. He is in a place of stillness and prayer.
So, what comes next?
His view is that the truth has a way of showing up on its own, in its own time. So he is focused on a kind of recovery that is led by faith, and on coming to terms with what he sees as an unnatural chapter.
These comments may not put an end to the talk, but they do put a different spin on it. Tyagi is telling his fans to stop after the rumours and instead be still and let time have its say.
