Knife-Wielding Burglar Attacks Saif Ali Khan at Home; Actor in Surgery
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan sustained multiple injuries during an attempted robbery at his Bandra residence in Mumbai early Thursday morning. The incident, which occurred at around 2:15 a.m., left the actor with six stab wounds, two of which are reported to be dangerously close to his spine. He is currently undergoing surgery at Lilavati Hospital.
According to Dr. Niraj Uttamani, COO of Lilavati Hospital, Saif was brought to the hospital at 3:30 a.m. following the attack. “His injuries are significant, with one wound near the spine. A team of specialists, including neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Leena Jain, and anesthesiologist Dr. Nisha Gandhi, is attending to him,” Dr. Uttamani said.
The intruder allegedly broke into the actor's residence in the middle of the night, attacking the house staff before confronting Saif. Despite being unarmed, the actor fought back in an attempt to protect his family, which includes his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two children, Taimur and Jeh.
A source close to the family described the terrifying ordeal, saying, “Saif showed immense courage, fighting off the attacker to safeguard his family. Unfortunately, he sustained severe injuries in the process.”
Kareena, who had reportedly returned home from a party around 1:30 a.m., was present in the house along with her children when the incident unfolded. She and the rest of the family remained unharmed, though the attack left them shaken.
Both Saif and Kareena’s teams have issued statements addressing the incident and requesting privacy during this challenging time. “There was an attempted burglary at Saif Ali Khan’s residence last night,” Saif’s team confirmed. “He is currently undergoing surgery, and we request fans and the media to remain patient and avoid unnecessary speculation. The matter is under police investigation.”
Similarly, Kareena’s team reassured the public about the family’s safety. “Saif sustained injuries while defending his family. We urge everyone to allow the police to carry out their investigation and not jump to conclusions. Thank you for your concern.”
The Mumbai Police have launched an investigation and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area. Three suspects have reportedly been detained for questioning, although further details remain undisclosed.
This shocking incident has sent waves of concern across the film industry and among Saif’s fans. Many have taken to social media to express their support and wish for his speedy recovery.
As the investigation continues, police are working to piece together the exact sequence of events. Authorities have increased security in the area and are determined to identify and apprehend all those involved in the attack.
Saif Ali Khan remains under medical supervision as he recovers from surgery. The actor’s resilience and bravery in defending his family have been widely lauded, highlighting his courage in the face of a life-threatening situation.
