Mariesha said: "People gasped thinking it was part of the show.
"A second round went off, most people ducked, but I just said run, just get out of here."
The pair hid from the Paris gunmen in a cellar and had to listen to the massacre for three hours.
Now the pair have urged that Islam should not be blamed for the attacks.
Christine said: "It has nothing to do with Islam. It is just mindless terrorism. The Islamic community will condemn this just as much as us.
Mariesha agreed saying: "This is nothing to do with the majority of immigrants.
"Migrants are fleeing this. This is their life - daily."
