Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked during an attempted burglary at his Mumbai residence, leaving him with six stab wounds. The incident has shocked fans and fellow celebrities, who took to social media to express their concern and outrage.
Actor Jr NTR, Saif’s co-star in the movie Devara: Part 1, shared his shock and prayed for his speedy recovery on X. Similarly, filmmaker Kunal Kohli and actor Neil Nitin Mukesh expressed their concern and wished Saif well. Neil called the incident “very sad” and prayed for Saif and his family.
Veteran actress Mamta Kulkarni emphasized the urgency to improve urban security. She noted that such incidents are not isolated to Mumbai and urged better treatment of security workers to ensure protection. Actress Raveena Tandon highlighted the crime surge in Bandra, criticizing the lack of safety measures in what was once a secure area.
Early reports suggested that Saif’s elder son, Ibrahim, accompanied him to the hospital. However, it was later clarified that a house help rushed him to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw. Neither Ibrahim nor Saif’s younger son Taimur were present during the incident.
The attack underscores growing concerns about safety in Mumbai neighborhoods, especially for high-profile citizens. Raveena Tandon pointed out rising issues like chain snatching, accident scams, and hawker-related crimes in Bandra. She called for stronger law enforcement and safety protocols.
The horrifying situation has united Bollywood in solidarity for Saif. Fans and well-wishers continue to pray for his speedy recovery, with many calling for a serious rethink of safety measures in the city.
