Television actress Divyanka Tripathi recently shared a heartbreaking note on Instagram, revealing a tragic incident that took place at her building just a night before Diwali. The actress disclosed that a devastating fire broke out in a section of their building, claiming the life of their beloved security guard, Dhanpat.
Divyanka and her husband, Vivek Dahiya, shared a collaborative Instagram post along with a video showing the fire incident and fire brigade in action to control the situation. The couple revealed that they were at home when the fire broke out. Fortunately, they spotted the danger in time and managed to evacuate safely with their twin boys, family members and staff.
However, the tragedy left them heartbroken when they learnt about Dhanpat’s death.
Sharing their grief, Divyanka and Vivek wrote, “Some losses leave behind a silence that never quite goes away.” They also recalled how Dhanpat Uncle welcomed their twin boys when they brought them home from the hospital for the first time.
The couple revealed that he was among the first people in their building to meet their newborns, bless them and welcome them with affection. His heartwarming moment with the babies had gone viral on social media back then, and netizens had showered love on the video.
Recalling their bond with him, the couple wrote, “Dhanpat Uncle, you were never just the guard of our building. You were part of our everyday lives, someone we trusted, someone we had imagined in our children’s tomorrow.”
Divyanka and Vivek also shared how they had imagined Dhanpat Uncle watching their boys grow up and seeing them play together over the years. However, the unfortunate incident turned those dreams into memories.
The actress further revealed that although electricity, gas supply and lifts gradually returned after the fire, normalcy did not return to their lives.
Concluding their emotional note, the couple promised to tell their sons about the kind man who welcomed them home with blessings. They also urged everyone never to take someone’s presence in their lives for granted.
The heartbreaking revelation has left fans and well-wishers expressing their condolences and sending strength to the family during this difficult time.
