A huge blaze erupted in the early morning at the Sorrento building in Andheri West, Mumbai, destroying the 12th, 13th, and 14th floors and causing panic among the residents.
Firefighters quickly arrived at the scene shortly after the fire was reported, and the firefighting efforts lasted for several hours as dense smoke filled the upper levels of the high-rise.
The blaze inflicted significant destruction on several residential units, especially on the 14th floor, where filmmaker Sandeep Singh's houses are located. Sandeep is recognized for creating many well known films, such as Mary Kom, Sarbjit, Aligarh, Jhund, Savarkar, Safed, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Sandeep Singh had just been released from Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where he received treatment for a hernia. Due to his health situation and the unexpected crisis, prompt measures were taken to guarantee his security and well-being.
Actress Ankita Lokhande and her husband , Vicky Jain, who have a close relationship with Singh, quickly intervened to assist.
Reports indicate that Ankita and Vicky brought Sandeep Singh to their home shortly after the fire event. The couple made sure that he was secure, comfortable, and distanced from the turmoil at the location, particularly given his recent operation and healing period.
Those close to the filmmaker have valued their gesture, emphasizing the deep personal connections within the industry during difficult times.
According to TOI, the evacuation efforts were promptly implemented to avoid any fatalities. Although there have been no significant injuries reported to date, the evaluation of property damage is currently underway.
The definitive cause of the fire has not been officially established, and officials are anticipated to carry out a thorough inquiry.
Sorrento building residents voiced their shock about the event, with numerous individuals recounting the horrifying moments as fire and smoke quickly engulfed the upper levels.
Fire officials have advised high-rise residents to follow safety protocols closely and make sure that firefighting equipment is operational at all times.
As inquiries proceed, there is relief that lives were saved despite the magnitude of the fire. The emphasis now is on rehabilitation, evaluating the damage, and assisting those impacted by the event.
