The incident took place when the 'Pavitra Rishta' actress was performing 'puja' during Ganesh Chaturthi.
Ankita has confirmed the reports while talking to leading entertainment portal SpotBoyE and said, "I had lit an aroma candle in my room. I don’t know how my curtain caught fire and before I knew my bedroom was on fire. I tried a lot to salvage the disaster but in the process, I burnt both my hands and neck. "
“Right now I’m recovering, the wounds are healing but I have to be very careful as they can’t rub against my clothes or any objects. It hurts and it hurts a lot. My bedroom is a wreck and the repairs are on, " Ankita told SpotBoyE.
The actress also said that her good karma has saved her from a major disaster.
Before this fire tragedy, Ankita was already injured as she had fractured her hand.
ABP LIVE wishes her a speedy recovery.
