Daisy Shah on the fire incident in her residential complex: "I was shaking all night"
3:35 PM

Daisy Shah shared a video on Instagram late Tuesday night after a fire broke out in a neighbouring building in Bandra East. The blaze gutted a flat in the same residential compound where she lives, and she alleged it was triggered by firecrackers during an election campaign.
Recounting the incident, Daisy said the fire broke out around 8.30 pm while she was at home. She said, “I was in my bedroom when I started hearing announcements on a loudspeaker. There was some prachar happening, which I was fine with as it is part of the election process. Soon after, I began hearing crackers continuously. When my dogs became uncomfortable, I went to the living room to close the window and saw sparks flying towards it.”
‘In 15 minutes, the entire house was on fire’
The actress pointed out that the situation escalated quickly. She said, “Our building and the adjacent one are part of the same compound and connected by a terrace. The distance between the two is barely 20 feet. I saw a spark fly towards the neighbouring flat, and within minutes, it turned into a fire inside the house. Initially, my mother thought it was just light reflecting, but soon she could clearly see something burning. I told her this was a fire. She rushed downstairs, alerted residents, and called the fire brigade. In the next 15 minutes, the entire house was on fire. It could have spread in any direction and could have gutted my home as well. I was shaking the entire night.”
She added, “The fire brigade arrived in about 45 minutes and took around an hour to douse the flames completely. By then, the entire flat was engulfed, but once they arrived, the fire brigade and police acted swiftly and handled the situation professionally.”
Fortunately, no residents were at home at the time of the incident. She said, “The son and his wife had gone to a wedding, and the wheelchair-bound uncle had stepped out. They did have pets. Five parrots, a large fish tank, and two cats. The cats managed to escape, but two out of five birds did not survive. Everything else was reduced to ash.”
‘My calls to the fire brigade didn’t go through’
In the video that Daisy shared on social media, she is seen asking whether anyone had contacted the fire brigade, which led to comments questioning why she did not do so herself. She clarified, “I did call the fire brigade. I tried multiple numbers, including the Kurla and Chembur stations, but the calls did not go through. I even have the call logs.”
She added that the impact continues, with the gas pipeline shut in both buildings and a power cut in the affected one. “Running an election campaign is fine, but the people hired need to be taught basic civic sense. This is not the first time firecrackers have caused such damage. This could have ended far worse,” she concluded.
Daisy Shah slams ‘irresponsible’ campaigning after fire in Bandra building

HINDUSTAN TIMES (January 8, 2026)
Actor Daisy Shah has expressed shock and anger after a house in Bandra East was reportedly set ablaze when crackers were burst as part of an election campaign. The incident took place late at night (January 6, Tuesday) while the actor was walking her dogs near her building. Daisy shared a video of the aftermath on Instagram, where she criticized what she described as “irresponsible behaviour” by campaigners. She alleged that the people bursting crackers fled the spot after the fire broke out, leaving residents to manage the situation.
In a strongly-worded note accompanying the video, Daisy wrote that although she has no political affiliation, campaign organizers must ensure that the teams they deploy act responsibly. “I have got nothing to do with any political party, but when you hire teams to run campaigns for your elections please make sure they have some common sense in them,” she posted.
She added that her building committee had refused permission for campaign workers to go door-to-door, which she implied may have helped prevent further escalation.
Calling out the use of fireworks near residential structures, Shah said bursting crackers next to homes is “not the way to go about it”, describing the incident as the result of a complete lack of civic sense.
“It ain’t a natural calamity, it’s caused by brainless people. Take accountability, it’s high time,” she wrote, urging people to act more responsibly in public spaces.
Local authorities are yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
Cycling is my only form of cardio now-Daisy Shah

While the rest of the industry is trying to get back to action post the Coronavirus lockdown, Daisy Shah’s routine hasn’t changed much. “My life’s still in lockdown. When I am not working, I only go to the gym and that’s closed now,” she rues.The actress however did go to the salon the day they reopened, for a haircut. “It wasn’t about pampering myself,” she quickly adds, admitting that she fell in love with the clean roads and fresh air, but understands that such changes are not permanent. “Life will go back to its frantic pace, but let’s enjoy it while it lasts.”
Daisy has found a new interest in cycling. “It’s the only form of cardio I’m doing right now. I cycle five days a week and get to enjoy the fresh air too,” she informs, adding that since she stays in Bandra East, she cycles around the Bandra Kurla Complex.
She was to begin shooting for Salman Khan’s Bulbul Marriage Hall, with Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda and Sunil Grover, in April, but now she has no idea when the film will roll. “The priority now is Radhe, its schedule will determine how everything else pans out,” says Daisy, revealing that she had learnt Haryanvi as part of the prep. “I’ll get a 15-20 days heads up from our director before we start filming, so I can brush up my diction with the tutor, that I had learnt before the lockdown, in a week,” she signs off.
Daisy Shah works on the decor of her 3-BHK apartment in BKC

Daisy Shah, last seen in Hate Story 3, has bought a spacious 3BHK apartment in a highrise near Bandra-Kurla Complex.
Says Daisy, “I already own two houses — one in Malad and another in Thane — but I sold off the Thane apartment and bought one in Bandra, because it was convenient and larger than my other homes. I did the décor myself. It’s very contemporary in look and colour — a white-and-beige combination with lots of special paintings all over. One of these paintings was gifted by artist Shweta Rohira (Pulkit Samrat’s estranged wife) who is one of my closest friends. It’s a Radha Krishna painting and was given as a housewarming gift for new beginnings.”
And does she have her own special corner in her new home? “Yes, I have a small coffee corner where I like to sit. It’s right next to the windows and the power seat of the living area. When I sit there, I can see Bandra Reclamation in front of me.”
