Davangere: In a tragic accident, a seven-year-old girl who tried to enact a scene from a daily soap set herself ablaze at her residence here.

She allegedly made a circle of a fire around her to dance but the flames engulfed her and claimed her life.

It has been reported that Prarthana along with her family used to watch a serial named Nandini. On November 11, when her mother was away she tried to enact a scene from the TV program where the character dances around fire.
