On Monday, a massive fire broke out around 5 am on the set of Anupamaa, the Rupali Ganguly-starrer show, in Film City, Goregaon, Mumbai. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's fire brigade was informed about the incident at around 6 am. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

Hours later, producer Rajan Shahi issued a statement following the fire incident on the sets, confirming that everybody is safe. He stated, "This is to inform everyone about an unfortunate incident that took place early this morning on the sets of Anupamaa. A fire broke out, but by God's grace, there were no casualties. There was no shoot on Sunday, and today's call time was scheduled later in the day. At the time of the incident, no unit members were present on set-only the security personnel and set staff were there, who are all safe. No animals were harmed, and proper care was taken for their safety."

Rajan added, "The fire department and all concerned authorities are currently investigating the reason, especially since there was no shooting on the set and the main power lights were turned off. The exact cause of the fire is still being determined."

The statement further read, "It has also come to our notice that some gossip mongers are attempting to spread false news and misleading information. We sincerely request everyone not to believe in any rumours or unverified stories that may be circulating. Please wait for official and confirmed updates from our side."
