- Saif Ali Khan was left with six wounds after being stabbed by an intruder.
- Many questioned why he didn’t have security or weapons at home.
- His youngest son, Jeh, has come up with his own protective measure.
Actor Saif Ali Khan narrowly escaped serious injury after being stabbed by an intruder at his home last month. The attack left him with six stab wounds, including two deep ones, but fortunately, he recovered without life-threatening injuries.
While many have questioned why a celebrity of his stature does not have security or weapons at home, his youngest son, Jeh, has come up with his own protective measure—a plastic sword.
In an interview with Delhi Times, Saif spoke about his family’s reaction to the terrifying incident. “The kids are okay, thank God. Jeh has given me a plastic sword and said, ‘Keep this by your bed for the next time the chor comes.’
He says, ‘Geeta saved Abba and Abba saved me.’ Taimur is a little concerned about security. Sara was very emotional and Ibrahim was also very emotional, more than he obviously normally is. He was there and has been spending a lot of time with me. It’s been really kind of nice for the family to come together (laughs), but also obviously, a bit of a shock for everyone.”
Saif also mentioned that his wife, Kareena Kapoor, has been staying strong despite her fears. “She is being very strong but is shaken and about things like security.”
Following the attack, Saif spent five days at Lilavati Hospital, where doctors removed a piece of the knife from his back and treated leaking spinal fluid. He was discharged on January 21.
Earlier this month, he made his first public appearance since the attack at a Netflix India event, where he promoted his upcoming film Jewel Thief with a neck bandage and a cast on his hand.
