A fire broke out in the wee hours of Tuesday at Mumbai’s Fortune Enclave building in Bandra (W), which houses singer Shaan. While the blaze erupted on the seventh floor, the musician and his family were asleep at their home on the 11th floor. Talking about the ordeal and how he managed to escape the building safely with his family, Shaan tells us, “The fire broke out on the seventh floor around 12.30am. We were asleep and were woken up around 1am. Most of the people in the building, seventh floor and below, had gone down. We were told to go to the terrace, but since the terrace was locked and the smoke was mounting, we took refuge at our neighbour, Mrs Kazi’s home, on the 14th floor. Unfortunately, they were stuck too. We were there for about 40 minutes, until the fireman came up and they took us down.”
