When Parvati had a close call!

Actress Sonarika Bhadoria had a close call on the sets of Devon Ke Dev Mahadev recently, when her sari caught fire while shooting for her wedding sequence.

The actress who plays Parvati in the show was shooting for the phera sequence with co-actor Mohit Raina (Shiva) when accidentally her pallu caught fire from one of the diyas kept around the mandap.

A source on the sets reveals, “On the day we were shooting for the Parvati-Shiva wedding sequnce; Sonarika was loaded with heavy jewellery. It was an important sequence and the shoot had been going on for over five hours at a stretch.”

The source adds, “During the pheras, Sonarika’s pallu accidentally caught fire. She did not notice the fire immediately, but one of the actors who plays her sister in the show, was showering flowers on Mahadev and Parvati, saw the fire and alerted everyone present. Everyone immediately swung into action and put out the fire. A major accident was averted that day.”
