But not many know about the hard work and preparation that goes into the making of these serials, and the sets are the biggest assets of the show that bring the whole story to life. And if the set itself gets damaged due to any unforeseen reason, then there is an immense loss to the makers.

Here is a list of popular TV shows that caught fire, which resulted in immense loss of property.

Comedy Nights with Kapil

The popular and much loved comedy show set caught fire in September 2013. The same source further added that cameras and other equipment were up in flames, leading to major financial losses. No casualty were thankfully reported.

F.I.R

The sets of the Sab Tv’s show caught fire, sending the cast and crew in a state of panic and utter fear. The initial cause is believed to be a short circuit and thankfully, with the agility of the crew members, the fire was doused in quick time. 

But show’s actor Gopi Bhalla met his worst nightmare when his trousers went up in flames, triggering further alarm. It was Kavita Kaushik’s presence of mind that saved Gopi’s life by throwing a bucket of water on his trousers.
