Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan faced a terrifying knife attack at his Bandra home last week. An intruder barged into his house through his youngest son Jeh’s room during the early hours of Thursday. The incident escalated quickly, leaving Saif with six stab wounds, two of them dangerously close to his spine.
The commotion started with the intruder confronting their house help. Saif, awakened by the chaos, intervened barehanded to protect his staff. While defending himself and others, the actor suffered multiple injuries. Reports reveal that doctors later removed a 2.5-inch knife from one of his wounds.
In an unexpected twist, Saif’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, was not at the scene. Sources suggest she was at her sister Karisma’s house after returning from a late-night party. Kareena reportedly avoided the spotlight to dodge any potential media scandal due to her inebriated state.
The Mumbai Police took swift action. A night Police Inspector (PI) initially investigated the case before handing it over to a senior investigator the next day. The police clarified there was no change in the Investigation Officer (IO), dismissing rumors of protocol violations.
Saif reportedly went to the hospital accompanied by his elder son, Taimur. His brave intervention has caught the public’s admiration, though the attack has raised concerns about celebrity safety in Mumbai.
The frightening attack is a grim reminder of how home invasions can spiral out of control. Saif’s courage under dire circumstances has left many in awe, as the investigation into this shocking intruder case continues.
