Fire breaks out in a Mumbai building; actress Divya Nika Tripathi and her family remain safe

Indian TV actress Divyanka Tripathi and her husband, Vivek Dahiya, remained safe during a fire that broke out in their residential building in Mumbai; however, a security guard at the building lost his life in the incident. At the time of the fire, the couple’s five-month-old twin sons, other family members, and domestic staff were also present in the home; they were all evacuated safely.

On November 10, Divyanka Tripathi shared videos of the incident on Instagram, explaining that the fire occurred on the night before Diwali—which also happened to be her husband Vivek Dahiya’s birthday. The family had planned to go out that evening, but their departure was delayed for some reason.

According to the actress, because they were at home, they became aware of the fire in time and managed to escape the building along with their children, family members, and staff.

Security Guard’s Death Turns Joy into Sorrow

In her post, Divyanka wrote that she had no idea the moments of that evening would become memories that would last forever. Initially, she felt relieved that they had escaped a major disaster and avoided financial loss, but she later learned that a security guard at the building, whom they called "Dhanpat Uncle," had lost his life in the blaze.

The actress shared that she and Vivek received this tragic news while they were taking shelter at a friend’s home. It was difficult for them to believe the news of Dhanpat’s death, and they kept praying that it might not be true.

According to her, Dhanpat Uncle was among the first people to offer blessings when they brought their twins home. He had become a part of the family’s daily life. Divyanka stated that she would certainly tell her sons about 'Dhanpat Uncle' when they grow up.

Building Amenities Restored After Fire

According to the actress, electricity supply to the building was restored on the occasion of Diwali, while the gas supply and elevators were made operational the following day, following safety inspections.

However, she noted that despite the restoration of basic amenities, life has not yet returned to normal; the fire affected a large portion of the building, and the loss of a precious human life is a sorrow that no celebration or light can erase.
