The incident occurred at night while the actor was walking her dogs near her residence.
Daisy Shah Urges People To Take Accountability
In the video shared on her Instagram handle, Daisy Shah strongly criticised the irresponsible behaviour that, according to her, led to the frightening incident.
She also revealed that those responsible for the fire fled the spot after the incident, leaving residents to deal with the consequences.
Sharing the video online, Daisy Shah wrote a long and scathing note, holding election campaign teams responsible for the incident. She stated, "I have got nothing to do with any political party, but when you hire teams to run campaigns for your elections please make sure they have some common sense in them."
She further added that her building committee had thankfully refused permission for these campaigners to go door to door.
Calling out the reckless use of fireworks near residential buildings, Daisy Shah said bursting crackers next to homes was "not the way to go about it" and labelled the situation as one arising from a complete lack of civic sense. "It ain't a natural calamity, it's caused by brainless people. Take accountability, it's high time," she wrote, accusing people of being careless with public safety.
Her video quickly drew reactions from fans who supported her stand and echoed her concerns about safety during election promotions.
