Contestants of the reality show "Bigg Boss" have narrowly escaped a blast in Mumbai.
The terror situation in Mumbai is worsening, with terrorists on the rampage killing at least 101 people and injuring over 250.
If the contestants had attended a bash thrown by model-actor Zulfi Syed, they would have most certainly been caught up in the blast.
Zulfi told IANS over phone from Mumbai: "I had organised a party at my lounge in the Sahara Star hotel in Santa Cruz on Wednesday night. When I reached close to the hotel there was a rattling sound. Initially, I thought there must be a wedding nearby, but when I reached the hotel I came to know that it was indeed a bomb blast,"
"I had invited my friends from 'Bigg Boss', but when I got to know that things are not under control in the city, I called those who were on their way not to come because I felt it was not safe," Zulfi said.
According to Zulfi's publicist Dale Bhagwagar, the blast was in a taxi that exploded just two buildings away.
