Pankit Thakkar breathes a sigh of relief...

Pankit Thakkar aka Dr. Atul of Star One's Dill Mill Gayye had a bad start to the day today!! His family got up with a scare this morning, when a part of their house all of a sudden caught fire…

Says Pankit, "Today morning, when the milkman rang the door bell, I guess some sort of short circuit happened. We were all sleeping then, and got up when we could sense some kind of smoke in the air. We were completely numb to see a part of the house on fire. Though the fire was not that much, we could not go near it as sparks were coming out of the door bell. We immediately called the electrician and set things right".

Thanking his stars, Pankit adds, "Luckily, all were at home and could be of comfort to one another. Above all, it was a blessing in disguise that this accident happened in the early morning hours when not much of electrical usage is there. If this had happened sometime in the afternoon, it would have ended up in a major accident".

We too are relieved that all is well now with Pankit and his family…
