When fire broke out at Bandra's La Mer building on Tuesday afternoon in Mumbai, Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan rushed to the spot on hearing the news. According to reports, the couple offered water and food to cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar's wife Anjali's parents and other residents of the building.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The fire apparently broke out in one the floors where Sachin Tendulkar's in-laws, Anand and Annabel Mehta live in. Aishwarya's mother Vrinda also lives there, as the actress owns a flat on the 12th floor in the 16-storey building. When the fire broke out Aishwarya and Abhishek rushed there and found many residents of the building had come down when the news of the fire reached them. She and Abhishek took them out for lunch but as Anjali's parents had to stay back, the actress got lunch for them from outside. It was afternoon when the fire broke out, there was no electricity and the lifts were not working so those who were down couldn't go up till 5.30-6pm when the electricity came back."

The source further told the website, "Aishwarya had also bought plenty of water bottles and distributed them to all she met. She has lived in that building for years and had stayed with her parents till she got married so she knows many of the people there, including ad man Prahlad Kakkar with whom she has worked with. She shares warm equation with most of them and was extremely concerned when she heard of the fire breaking out."

The source also rubbished reports that Aishwarya's mother Vrinda would shift in with Abhi-Ash in their Juhu bungalow. "It's totally baseless – of course every daughter would want that but there is no truth to that," the website quoted the source as saying.

Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali used to stay in La Mer, but moved to a bungalow in Perry Cross Road at Bandra six years ago. Sachin and his family are close to the Bachchans and had attended Abhishek and Aishwarya's wedding. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya had also attended the grand premiere of 'Sachin: A Billion Dreams'.

On the Bollywood front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will next be seen in 'Fanney Khan' co-starring Rajkummar Rao.
