Post the performance of Bollywood Superstar Mr. Ambitabh Bachchan at the Make In India Cultural event held this evening at Mumbai’s Girgaum Chowpatty, a massive fire broke out making the entire stage go up in flames within a few minutes. Luckily Mr. Bachachan was done with his poetry recital and was in a safe zone when the fire broke out during the lavani dance performance.

The stage was close to the VIP enclosure with Bollywood personalities like Aamir Khan, Vivek Oberoi and actor/ politician Hema Malini and dignitaries like Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.

The reason for the fire has not yet been identified but all backstage performers and guests were immediately evacuated and no casualties have been reported so far.

Aamir Khan, who was to perform at the event mentioned that the fire spread at an alarming speed due to the windy weather.
