The incident occurred in the wee hours of Thursday at Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra residence. In an interview with The New York Times, the police officials involved in this case reported that Khan, 54, was stabbed multiple times with a knife. Moreover, they added that it’s assumed that the stabbing was done for an attempted burglary.
Upon further investigations, it was made clear that the intruder entered the house through the fire escape. One of the CCTV footage that went viral on social media reveals the face of the intruder, while he was trying to flee.
Saif Ali Khan was immediately rushed to the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. Dr. Nitin Dange, who operated Khan informed that the celebrity was brought in a serious condition with multiple stabs on his arms, neck and a deep wound close to his spinal cord, with the knife still attached.
Wishes poured in from all over the country, popular celebrities to the actor’s supporters, for his speedy recovery. Saba Pataudi, Saif’s sister, expressed her feelings through Instagram, wherein she said that the incident sent her to a shocked and reeling state. She further shared some memorable pictures of her and her brother from their childhood. Later, Kareena Kapoor Khan also took to her Instagram account, to request for privacy on this matter from media and paparazzi as well, due to security concerns.
Although, according to the latest reports, the doctors have confirmed that the surgery went successful, with the knife removed and spinal fluids restored, the Cocktail actor is currently out of danger, with a team of doctors constantly monitoring his progress. But, the entire Bollywood fraternity along with the actor’s family and fans are in deep shock mainly because it raises serious safety issues for a person living in this country.
