New Delhi: On Thursday, November 14, in Mumbai, an unfortunate incident happened on the sets of the popular television show ‘Anupamaa’, which featured Rupali Ganguly. A camera assistant, whose name has not been released, tragically died after being electrocuted while operating technical equipment on set. He could not be rescued despite rapid medical treatment and being brought to the hospital. The crew member reportedly died after coming into touch with an open wire by mistake, leading to a deadly short circuit. 

The show's production company, Director's Kut Productions, which is run by Rajan Shahi, has not commented officially on the event as yet. The unexpected death has shaken the television industry to its core, as members of the fraternity and coworkers have expressed their worry about the safety procedures on production.

Similar concerns have been voiced before, and this event only adds fuel to the fire over the safety regulations of film and television sets. ‘Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin’, another popular program, had a huge fire last year that damaged neighbouring sets. 

About ‘Anupamaa’ Actor Rupali Ganguly

‘Anupamaa’ leading lady, Rupali Ganguly, is meantime engulfed in her own personal scandal. Esha, the actress's stepdaughter, has just gone public with a slew of severe accusations directed against both her father Ashwin Verma and herself in a video she uploaded. Esha said that they had harmed her emotionally. In addition, she said her dad made fun of her for having mental health issues. Esha removed the video and set her Instagram profile to private later on.

The accusations led to Rupali Ganguly serving Esha Verma a legal notice, in which she sought damages of Rs 50 crore.
