Mumbai: We had earlier heard of 'Naagin 4' actress Nia Sharma's lehenga catching fire at T-series Diwali party and another such incident happened during the Diwali bash hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh Khan came to the rescue of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's long time manager Archana Sadanand, whose lehenga caught fire at Bachchan's Diwali bash. According to a report in a leading daily, Archana's outfit caught fire from a diya lit at the celebrations. The 'Chennai Express' actor, who was present there, quickly saved Archana.


It is reported that Archana was admitted to the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai and is being kept in isolation in the ICU to prevent infection. She has suffered 15 per cent burns on her right leg and hands. Shah Rukh has also sustained some minor burns.

"Archana was with her daughter in the courtyard when her lehenga caught fire. Those around were stunned and didn't know what to do. Shah Rukh had the presence of mind, rushed to Archana, and put out the fire. He, too, sustained minor burns while dousing the flames with a jacket. His only thought was to put out the fire," a source told Mid-Day.
