Sridevi’s Andheri residence catches devastating fire, family to look for a new abode

This is an unfortunate phase of life for actress Sridevi, her husband Boney Kapoor and her entire family as their residence in Andheri West reportedly caught fire on Saturday evening following a short-circuit in the actress’s bedroom. No casualty has been reported though and all the family members are safe and doing well. But Sridevi’s bedroom is said to be destroyed completely.

As reported by a daily, the gorgeous diva of the Hindi film industry, Sridevi was at her home along with her daughters, mother-in-law and her pet dogs when a short-circuit happened in her bedroom’s air-conditioner leading to the fire. Sridevi quickly took her mother-in-law, daughters and pet dogs out of the home. As soon as the news broke, Sridevi’s husband Boney rushed in from Bandra and stayed there till 9:30 p.m. The fire was reportedly brought under control in time.

The family will soon start their search for a new house as the second floor of the house is said to be completely gutted. According to a source, “The home is now inhabitable. It will have to be redone entirely which will take months. Though they spent the night at Boney’s brother Sanjay Kapoor’s home, they cannot all live there for long due to space constraints.” “Sridevi has lost her entire wardrobe in the blaze. What has even greatly upset the actress is that her art collection has been gutted in the fire. All her artworks done by her including a painting of her favourite performer Michael Jackson have been destroyed,” the source added.
