A bystander at the site claimed that the family had burnt a diya, whose flame allegedly engulfed the nearby curtains, triggering the fire. According to reports, Rahul's wife ran downstairs, screaming for help, prompting the watchmen to rush up to the flat. However, by the time they arrived, it was too late.

Udit Narayan was reportedly safe during the fire; however, he is deeply shaken by the tragic incident. The singer is yet to share an official statement regarding the same.
A few days ago, Shaan and his family narrowly escaped a fire that broke out at their residential building, Fortune Enclave, in Bandra. Later, he took to his Instagram to share details of the incident and confirmed that everyone in his family is safe.
As per a PTI report, the fire broke out at around 1 am. While no fatalities were reported, an 80-year-old woman was found unconscious on the building’s eighth floor and was later rushed to the nearby Bhabha Hospital for treatment.
