'Kumkum Bhagya', which is one of the most popular shows on Indian television, is shot at Killick Nixon Studio, Mumbai. The studio was shut down for three days after 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2' actor Parth Samthaan tested positive for COVID-19. The shooting for 'Kumkum Bhagya', 'Kasautii 2' and 'Pavitra Bandhan' was put on halt after the Corona scare.

Rehyna, who has replaced Shikha Singh as Aaliya, said that the production team took charge immediately to control the fire. The 'Ishqbaaaz' actress told a portal the shooting will resumed from tomorrow (July 19).

"Everybody was a little scared but the situation was brought under control. The production people on sets took charge immediately and upar chad gaye in an attempt to extinguish the fire. The studio is well equipped with a fire extinguisher so everybody was on the job till the fire brigade came to take charge in controlling the fire. But thankfully we were well equipped or else the fire would have spread further and become worse by the time the Fire Brigade came," Rehyna told Pinkvilla.



‘Kumkum Bhagya’ stars Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia in the respective roles of Pragya and Abhishek. The show airs on Zee TV.
