Indian TV actress Divya Nika Tripathi and her husband Vivek Dahiya narrowly escaped a fire in their residential building in Mumbai. The couple’s five-month-old twin sons, other family members and domestic workers were also present at the house at the time of the incident, who were safely evacuated from the building. However, a security guard of the building lost his life in the accident.
Divya Nika Tripathi shared videos of the incident on Instagram on November 10 and gave details. According to her, the fire broke out the night before Diwali, which was also her husband Vivek Dahiya’s birthday. The family had planned to go out that evening, but for some reason, the departure was delayed. Being present at home at that time, she was able to find out about the fire in time and was able to leave the building with her children, family members and employees.
The actress wrote in her post that she never thought that those moments would remain only memories. According to her, in the initial moments of the fire, she felt that she had escaped a terrible incident and financial loss, but later she came to know that the building’s security guard, Dhanpat Uncle, could not survive the accident.
Divya Naka said that she and Vivek received the news of Dhanpat’s death when they were taking shelter at a friend’s house. It was extremely difficult for both of them to accept the news and they kept praying that this information might not be true.
According to the actress, Dhanpat Uncle was among the people who first prayed for the twins when they brought them home. He had become a part of the family’s daily life. Divya Naka said that when her sons grow up, she will definitely tell them about Dhanpat Uncle.
She further said that the power supply to the building was restored on the occasion of Diwali, while the gas supply and lifts were restored the next day after a safety inspection. However, according to them, despite the restoration of facilities, life could not return to normal, as the fire had affected the entire building and the loss of a precious human life left a void in the hearts of the family that no light can fill.
Divya Nika Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya first met on the sets of the TV drama ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’. The two got married on 8 July 2016 in the Indian city of Bhopal. Their twin sons were born in May 2026.
Recently, the couple also revealed the names of their children, who have been named Davik and Vedvik. Earlier, they temporarily called the children T1 and T2. They announced the names of the children on the program ‘Pati, Patni and Panga 2’.
