A big news has come from Mumbai’s Goregaon Film City, which has shocked the entire TV world! A massive fire broke out on the set of TV’s most popular serial ‘Anupama’ on Monday morning. The fire was so terrible that five fire engines reached the spot to extinguish it. Fortunately, no one was injured in this accident, but the set has suffered a lot of damage.
What happened?
On the morning of Monday, 23 June, a sudden fire broke out on the set of ‘Anupama’ serial in Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari, Mumbai. The fire spread across the set in no time and a cloud of smoke covered the sky. As soon as the fire broke out, some people present on the set immediately came out and the fire brigade was informed.
According to sources, the fire broke out around 5 am. At that time, due to the 7 o’clock shift, no artist or staff was present on the set except security guards and some other people. This is the reason why there was no loss of life, which is really a matter of relief. But, the set has suffered a lot of damage due to the fire. It is believed that goods worth lakhs and crores have been burnt to ashes. The reason for the fire has not been clear yet, but initially an electrical short circuit is suspected.
The whole matter of the set of ‘Anupama’
Let us tell you that ‘Anupama’ has two sets in Film City. One near the Film City office and the other in front of Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss’ set. This fire broke out on the set near the Film City office. Right next to this set is the set of Amar Upadhyay’s show ‘Dori’, but the good thing is that there was no damage to that set.
An old thing also comes to mind here – about six months ago, a camera assistant died of electric shock on the ‘Bigg Boss’ set of ‘Anupama’. This incident was really sad and now this fire… seems like something is not going right on this set!
Is fire on the set of a serial a new thing?
No, this has happened before as well! This is not the first incident of fire on the set of a TV serial. Earlier in 2023, the set of another famous TV serial of Star Plus ‘Ghum Hai Kisi Ke Pyaar Mein’ also caught fire and the entire set was burnt to ashes. These incidents demonstrate the need for greater vigilance regarding safety on set.
‘Anupama’ – TV’s number one show!
Talking about ‘Anupama’, it is the most watched show of Star Plus. Rupali Ganguly is playing the lead character in this show and she has made a special place in the hearts of the audience. This show often remains at number one in the TRP list, which is a proof of its popularity. This show of Rajan Shahi started on July 23, 2019 (about 5 years ago, as mentioned in the news, but the actual date is July 13, 2020) and from the very beginning it made its place in the top 5.
