Breaking news regarding the popular TV serial Anupama: A fire broke out unexpectedly today on the show's set in Mumbai, causing chaos.
Fire on Anupama Set: A major incident occurred early Monday morning on the set of India's most popular TV show, 'Anupama'. A fire erupted around 5 am at the set located in Mumbai's Film City, causing widespread panic. The show's shooting was about to begin shortly, but the fire engulfed the set beforehand. Several crew members and staff were present at the time of the incident.
Thankfully, no casualties have been reported so far. The cause of the fire is yet unknown, but an investigation has been launched. Several fire brigade vehicles arrived at the scene following the incident and brought the fire under control.
Details of the Incident: Fire at 5 am
According to reports, the 'Anupama' team was preparing for the day's shoot on Monday morning. Around 5 am, smoke was seen rising from a section of the set. Within moments, large flames were visible. Those present on the set immediately alerted the fire brigade, after which several fire engines arrived at Film City.
Those on the set were quickly evacuated, and efforts to extinguish the fire began. Eyewitnesses reported that the fire was so intense that the entire area was filled with smoke, significantly reducing visibility for a while.
No Loss of Life or Property (So Far)
The lead actress, Rupali Ganguly, and other main cast members were not present on set at the time, as shooting was scheduled to begin later. Had the incident occurred a little later, the situation could have been far worse. Currently, there are no reports of injuries, but a significant portion of the set has been destroyed by the fire. The quick response of the production team and security staff prevented greater damage.
Following the incident, the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has demanded a thorough investigation from the administration. The organization stated that a complete inquiry should be conducted to determine whether adequate safety measures were in place on the set. AICWA has previously raised concerns about the safety of cine workers and has taken this incident very seriously.
The AICWA president, in a statement, said that adherence to fire safety standards is mandatory on every set. While relieved that there were no casualties, the president noted that the frequency of such incidents points to systemic shortcomings.
Impact on the Show's TRP?
'Anupama' has consistently topped the TV TRP charts. The hard work of the show's producer Rajan Shahi and lead actress Rupali Ganguly has made it a viewer favorite. The current storyline depicts Anupama's struggles in Mumbai, with the introduction of new characters. The fire could halt the shooting of the next few episodes, potentially affecting the show's broadcast schedule. However, sources associated with the show say that alternative arrangements will be made soon to avoid any disruption in broadcasting.
