Mumbai: In a dramatic late-night incident, actor Saif Ali Khan was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw by his son Ibrahim Ali Khan after suffering six stab wounds during a confrontation with an intruder at his Bandra residence. The 54-year-old actor sustained injuries, including one perilously close to his spine, but is now reported to be out of danger following surgery.
Saif Ali Khan is under treatment after he was stabbed in a late-night attack at his home.
The attack occurred late last night during what is being described as an attempted burglary. The intruder, whose identity remains unknown, managed to evade capture and fled the scene. According to initial reports, police suspect the attacker gained access to the premises with the help of a house staff member who is now under investigation.
When no car was readily available for the emergency, Ibrahim, a 23-year-old actor himself, sprang into action. Wasting no time, he assisted his father into a nearby auto-rickshaw and covered the approximately two-kilometer journey to the hospital. A video taken moments after the incident shows Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, visibly distressed as she communicates with the house staff outside their residence.
In a statement released by Saif’s team, they confirmed that all other family members are safe and expressed gratitude for the timely medical intervention that stabilized the actor’s condition. “Mr. Khan is recovering well after surgery and is expected to make a full recovery,” the statement read.
