His perfectionist ways helped minimise the casualties when his set caught fire
Aamir Khan
On Monday, a fire broke out on the sets of Aamir Khan’s reality TV show at Madh Island in Mumbai. But thanks to the actor’s preparedness and his vision, it didn’t flare up into something bigger or more dangerous.
Apparently, someone from the technical department was doing a routine check in the night and there was spark in the lighting section due to which the fire spread onto the entire floor. But Aamir had already devised an emergency plan to tackle the situation. Sources say the actor had specially hired a team of four who were trained to handle such emergencies. So, to minimise casualties in the event of a fire, over and above the normal security, the four men were present on the sets.
Though the fire spread rapidly, Aamir’s security personnel attended to it immediately and it proved to be a blessing as the fire brigade took some time to reach. Nevertheless the fire caused a lot of damage, almost around Rs 1 crore!
Though when contacted, Aamir played down the incident, he said he was relieved that there were no major casualties or injuries.
Once again it was his foresight that saved the day!
