Mumbai, 23 June – A fire broke out on Monday morning at the set of the popular Hindi television serial ‘Anupamaa’ located in Mumbai’s Film City. As per agency report, officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) confirmed that no injuries or casualties were reported in the incident. The fire was brought under control approximately four hours after it began.
The blaze was reported around 6:10 a.m. in Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari, situated in the Goregaon East area of the city. Initially, the BMC had indicated that the fire may have occurred at a different set, but it was later confirmed that the flames originated from the set of ‘Anupamaa,’ where actress Rupali Ganguly plays the lead role.
According to the fire department, the fire affected an area of roughly 5,000 square feet within the studio. The damage was largely contained to electrical wiring, plastic and iron materials, decorative props, cameras, costumes, lighting systems, and other studio equipment.
In response to the emergency, four fire engines and four water tankers were dispatched to the site. The firefighting team included an assistant divisional fire officer and three station officers, who coordinated the operation.
By 10:15 a.m., the fire was successfully extinguished. However, the exact cause of the blaze remains under investigation. The incident highlights the need for stringent safety measures on television and film sets, especially in high-density production zones like Mumbai’s Film City.
