A major fire broke out in December on the sets of Colors' upcoming show Beypanha starring Jennifer Winget and Harshad Chopra. The show’s set, located at the Cinevista Studios in Kanjurmarg, was gutted in fire. The mishap claimed technician Gopi Verma’s life, whose body was recovered with 100% burns.

After the accident, television producers and actors have sprung into action, to ensure a mishap like this never happens again. Since TV stars shoot for long hours to fulfill the commitment of their daily shows, they want to be better prepared in case a tragedy like this strikes in the future.

CINTAA (Cine And TV Artistes Association) has taken an initiative to train entire teams at TV show sets to escape a fire, unscathed.

CINTAA’s General Secretary Sushant Singh and Comittee Member Nupur Alankar personally visited a few sets with a team of fire-fighting professionals, to train TV crews. Speaking about the initiative to SpotboyE.com, Sushant Singh said, "We have been urging the Producers Associations and Broadcasters to actively work on the health and safety issues since 2015, but unfortunately nothing concrete has been done so far. We cannot wait for another Cinevista like tragedy to wake up the system, we would rather spread awareness and train our members and workers to avert such tragedies in future."

Here are few pictures from the sets of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, where a training session is in progress...
