Miraculous escape for 'Saathii Re' cast
Monday, June 04, 2007
It is certainly a huge loss for the producers for 'Saathi Re'. The entire set of Rawal house at Magnum studios in Andheri has perished in a major inferno that engulfed the premises on Friday afternoon. Luckily there was no casualty as the incident occurred when a part of the cast was shooting on the third floor of the studio!
"I was taking a nap in the make-up room which is on the ground floor. Suddenly the air conditioner went off and I woke up. I went out of the room and there was black smoke all around," says Parakh Madan aka Suman in 'Saathi Re'.
There
was
fire
at
the
first
floor
and
as
a
rule
of
nature;
it
engulfed
the
upper
floors
soon.
The
actors
of
'Saathi
Re'
were
on
the
third
floor
and
they
had
difficulty
coming
down
to
safety.
"The
production
team
tried
to
use
fire
extinguishers,
but
it
would
not
work.
With
great
difficulty
the
actors
were
brought
to
safety," informs
Parakh.
The
fire
was
so
over-powering
that
three
fire
brigades
had
to
be
called
to
douse
it.
The
actors
watched
helplessly
as
the
fire
tenders
tried
to
extinguish
the
fire.
"I
cannot
understand
what
is
going
to
happen.
I
will
call
the
producer
at
night
to
know
what
is
going
to
be
done,"
says
a
confused
Parakh.
By the grace of God, no one was hurt and things could have turned worse.
