Contrary to earlier claims, Saif Ali Khan’s manager has clarified that it was the actor’s house help, not his son Ibrahim Ali Khan, who took him to Lilavati Hospital following the shocking stabbing incident. The house help reportedly used an auto-rickshaw to transport the injured actor to the hospital.
The Disturbing Incident
In the early hours of January 16, 2025, Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his Bandra residence by an intruder who entered through the emergency fire exit. The assailant confronted the house help and later stabbed Saif six times, with two wounds being severe. The actor intervened to protect his family, including his youngest son, Jeh, whose room the intruder had reportedly entered.
Clarification on Hospital Transport
Initial reports suggested that Saif’s elder son, Ibrahim, rushed him to the hospital. However, it has since been confirmed that neither Ibrahim nor Taimur was present during the incident. While Taimur was asleep in the apartment, Ibrahim resides in a separate building. The house help acted promptly, escorting the injured actor to the hospital in a rickshaw.
Saif’s Health Update
Saif was admitted to Lilavati Hospital at approximately 3:30 am. A team of doctors, including neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Leena Jain, performed emergency surgery to remove the knife lodged near his spine and treat his other injuries. Saif sustained six wounds in total, with one near his spine requiring critical attention. He is now stable but remains in the ICU for observation.
Police Investigation
CCTV footage has captured the suspect, a man in a t-shirt, jeans, and an orange scarf, carrying a backpack, fleeing the building. The footage shows him on the staircase of the sixth floor after the attack. Authorities believe the intruder planned a burglary and used the fire exit to access the 12th-floor apartment.
The incident has left the Bollywood fraternity and fans deeply shaken. The house help’s prompt action played a crucial role in ensuring Saif received timely medical attention. While investigations are ongoing, fans and well-wishers hope for the actor’s swift recovery and the perpetrator’s capture.
Wishing Saif Ali Khan a speedy recovery!
