There was a massive fire at the set of the television series, Anupamaa, featuring Rupali Ganguly early Monday morning, June 23. The accident occurred at Goregaon East Film City, Mumbai. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said that the fire broke out at around 5 am at the tent area of the set that has been located at the back of the Marathi Bigg Boss set at Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari. The fire brigade received the call regarding the fire at 6.10 am.
Lots of things in the set were burnt including electric wiring, plastics, iron and decoration materials, cameras, costumes, and lighting systems among other materials in the studio. The damage was an approximate 5000-square-foot portion of the Anupamaa studio.
The producers of Anupamaa, Shahi Production, have come out with an official statement about the incident. They have assured that there were no victims and that people should not accept fake news.
According to the note of the production house, it said, “This is to inform everyone about an unfortunate incident that took place early this morning on the sets of Anupamaa. A fire broke out, but by God’s grace, there were no casualties. There was no shoot on Sunday, and today’s call time was scheduled later in the day.”
It further said, “At the time of the incident, no unit members were present on set—only the security personnel and set staff were there, who were all safe. No animals were harmed, and proper care was taken for their safety. The fire department and all concerned authorities are currently investigating the reason, especially since there was no shooting on the set and the main power lights were turned off. The exact cause of the fire is still being determined.”
The producers asked people to avoid fake news and rumours. “It has also come to our notice that some gossip mongers are attempting to spread false news and misleading information. We sincerely request everyone not to believe in any rumours or unverified stories that may be circulating. Please wait for official and confirmed updates from our side.”
They expressed gratitude to all who supported them as well: The production houses of Shahi Productions, Directors Kut Production, and the whole cast and crew of Anupamaa are saying that they stand together in this difficult situation. They thanked the senior associations, peers in the industry, and the well-wishers who had messaged them in support and concern and that their faith and encouragement were very important to them.
After the fire, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA)showed a stern response and demanded firm action to be taken. The association has asked Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to initiate a top-level judicial into how the fire occurred.
