TV actors Divyanka Tripathi, Vivek Dahiya escape Mumbai building fire with twins; mourn security guard's death

Television actors Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya escaped a building fire in Mumbai with their twin five-month-old sons. The security guard at their building, whom they called "Dhanpat Uncle," died in the incident. The family, including other household staff, was evacuated safely. Divyanka shared videos on Instagram, alongside a heartfelt message about the guard.

The fire occurred the day before Diwali, which also marked Vivek's birthday. The family had planned to leave the house that evening, but their plans were delayed. Upon noticing the fire, they quickly evacuated with the children, relatives, and staff. The couple learned of Dhanpat's death after staying with friends. Electricity was restored on Diwali, but the gas supply and lifts resumed the following day after safety checks.

Divyanka and Vivek struggled to accept the news of their beloved colleague's death. They found comfort in knowing that Dhanpat had blessed their twins when they were brought home. The family intends to share Dhanpat's memory with their sons when they are older. Divyanka and Vivek, who met on the set of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, married in Bhopal in 2016 and welcomed their twin sons in May 2026, naming them Daivik and Vaidvik.
