Fire department officials said four tenders were rushed to the actor's house, Utsab, after smoke was seen billowing out of the kitchen.
"The fire, which originated from the kitchen, was doused in 30 minutes. Preliminary investigation indicate that there might be a spark in the chimney, which led to the fire. We will examine the cause of the fire in detail," a senior fire department officer said.
City Mayor Sovan Chatterjee and the actor's sister Pallavi Chatterjee rushed to Prosenjit's house after news spread about the fire.
