On the eve of Diwali, a devastating fire broke out at the residential complex where Divyanka lives with her husband, actor Vivek Dahiya, and their newborn twin boys. While the family and their staff managed to evacuate safely, the night ended in tragedy with the loss of their beloved building security guard, Dhanpat.

Taking to social media, the Banoo Main Teri Dulhann actress shared a deeply emotional tribute, recalling how Dhanpat was far more than just a security guard—he was a cherished fixture in their daily lives and one of the very first people to welcome her newborn sons home.

A Viral Moment of Warmth Remembered

The tragic news brought back memories of a viral video shared earlier, showing Divyanka bringing her twin boys home for the first time. In the clip, which touched millions of hearts across social media, Divyanka paused at the entrance to allow Dhanpat to get a closer look and gently bestow his blessings upon the babies.

Reflecting on that moment, Divyanka wrote:

A Miraculous Escape Marked by Sorrow

Divyanka revealed that she and her family had originally planned to step out on the evening of the incident. However, unexpected delays kept them inside—a stroke of timing that allowed them to spot the rising smoke in time to grab their babies and evacuate the building alongside their family and domestic staff.

Initially believing they had suffered only property damage and a scary experience, the couple was later shattered to learn that Dhanpat had perished in the blaze. Divyanka admitted that she and Vivek struggled to accept the heartbreaking reality, holding onto hope until official confirmation arrived.

While electricity, gas lines, and elevator services were gradually restored over the following days, Divyanka emphasised that infrastructural recovery could never replace a human life.

“A Darkness in Our Hearts That No Light Can Undo”

Expressing the deep pain felt by the entire residential community, Divyanka noted how the tragedy altered her perspective on life and everyday relationships.

Closing her moving note, the actress vowed to ensure her children know about the kind man who stood at their doorstep:
