Further, Priya added that while everyone talks about fire safety and thinks such accidents could never happen to them, last night she realised how even a simple careless moment could have cost her life. She said there was simply no way to escape when fire is creeping up on one’s body in flames.
"My Dad was a hero in that moment. I'm doing ok- I have superficial burns on my shoulders, back and fingers. I don't know how I survived without further damage but this incident has probably left me traumatised from Diwali forever. Please take care of yourself iin such times and most importantly I'm glad that I wasn't holding my baby when this happened. I'll probably still celebrate next year but this is a lesson for life," shared Priya.
Priya and Karan Bakshi tied the knot at a Gurudwara in Delhi in 2022. The couple welcomed their son on March 31, 2024, and named him Zorawar.
