Shaan and his wife Radhika Mukherji confirm ‘no damage’ hours after terrifying fire incident in their building; ‘It was a close call...’
Shaan and his wife Radhika Mukherji recently opened up about the terrifying fire incident that took place in their building, Fortune Enclave in Mumbai’s Bandra. Read on to know the details.
In a shocking turn of events, a fire broke out at the Fortune Enclave building in Bandra, Mumbai, which also houses singer Shaan. While the terrifying incident occurred on the 7th floor, the singer and his wife, Radhika Mukherji, were sleeping at their home on the 11th floor. During a recent interaction, the couple detailed the ordeal they faced.
“The fire broke out on the seventh floor around 12:30 am. We were asleep and were woken up around 1 am. Most of the people in the building, on the seventh floor and below, had gone down. We were told to go to the terrace, but since the terrace was locked and the smoke was mounting, we took refuge at our neighbor Mrs. Kazi’s home on the 14th floor. Unfortunately, they were stuck too. We were there for about 40 minutes until the firemen came up and took us down,” revealed Shaan.
As per an official, four fire engines and other fire-fighting vehicles were rushed to the spot, and the fire was extinguished after nearly 2.5 hours of effort. The musician further added that the 7th floor was completely devastated by the fire, while the 6th and 8th floors were partially burned. However, the singer assured that not much damage had been caused to the building and that their home was fine.
During the interaction, Shaan’s wife, Radhika Mukherji, also shared that their younger son, Maahi, was out at the time, and their elder son, Soham, woke them up. She noted that, apart from them, their two house helps and two pets also needed to be rescued.
“Panic is inevitable in such situations, but we tried to stay as informed and prepared as possible,” she said. She went on to reveal that they switched off all the mains and covered their faces with wet clothes to minimize smoke inhalation. While they tried to reach the higher floors, they couldn’t make it beyond the 15th floor because of the overwhelming smoke.
While Radhika admitted to panicking, her husband Shaan and Soham remained calm and made calls to the fire brigade, only to be reassured that they were already on-site. She also expressed her gratitude toward Ashish Shelar, Khar police station, and the fire brigade team for their incredible efforts.
“It was a close call, but their swift action ensured the situation was brought under control,” she said, further adding that their home was fine by God’s grace, "with no damage from smoke or fire."
