Famous actress Divyanka Tripathi did not have a happy Diwali as her building guard Dhanpat Uncle tragically died on Diwali evening (November 7) due to a fire in the building. Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya, who welcomed their twin boys in June this year, had an emotional connection with the guard as he was one of the first to bless their newborns.

Divyanka Tripathi took to Instagram to share a video of Dhanpat Chacha blessing the newborns along with an emotional message for them.

Divyanka Tripathi shared that she was at home when the ‘accident’ happened. They evacuated the children, family and staff in time, only to learn later that the guard had died in the fire.

“The night before Diwali and Viv’s birthday, a terrible fire broke out in our building. We had planned to get out that evening, but somehow, our plans kept getting delayed. We were at home when the accident happened, which allowed us to know the danger in time and get out with our children, family and staff.

“For a while, we thought we had escaped with only a horrible memory and physical damage. Until we heard about Dhanpat Uncle.

“Vivek and I struggled to accept the news. As we took shelter at a friend’s house, we kept hoping, praying that somehow it wasn’t true,” Divyanka wrote.

“Dhanpat uncle, you were never the watchman of our building. You were part of our daily life, the one we trusted, the one we envisioned in our children’s tomorrow,” he added.

The Banu Main Teri Dulhan actress shared that she imagined a happy future when her boys would grow up and play with Dhanpat Chacha. But his imagination remained only a dream.

“When we first brought our children home, one of the first people to welcome and bless them was our beloved Dhanpat Uncle, who was the guardian of our building. We envisioned the years to come… watching our boys grow up, the children playing with their Dhanpat Uncle, and the countless little moments we took for granted.

Divyanka wrote, “We will miss you so much. And when our boys are old enough, we will tell them about the kind person who welcomed them home with a blessing, who was indispensable in our daily lives and – we should never take anyone’s presence for granted.”

Divyanka Tripathi and husband Vivek Dahiya, who adopted parents after 10 years of marriage and welcomed twins in June 2026, finally revealed their names on November 7. Five months after the birth of their twins, the couple announced their names Daivik and Vaidvik in season 2 of their show, Patti Patti Aur Panga Jo.
