To everyone’s surprise, a robbery bid was made at the Bandra residence of Saif and Kareena on January 15 in the wee hours. According to sources, the incident took place around 2:30 am, when an intruder broke into their luxurious house in the Satguru Sharan building on Sheikha Zayed Road. The couple and their kids Taimur, aged 8 years, and Jeh, who is 4 years old, were asleep at the time of the break-in.
As an eye-witness who spoke for the family said,” Saif Ali Khan was wounded while trying to evade the attacker. During the fight, he was stabbed and had to be immediately admitted at Lilavati Hospital.”
Confirming the incident, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Bandra Division, stated, “Yes, the robbery attempt happened at approximately 2:30 am. The intruder escaped after everybody was awake. Saif gets hurt and taken to Lilavati Hospital. He sustained some wounds which are not severe enough to limit your life, but further investigation is in progress to see how the incident occurred.
Dr Niraj Uttamani, COO of Lilavati Hospital, provided further details, stating, “Saif was brought to the hospital at around 3:30 am with six injuries, two of which are severe, some close to his spine. He is still in surgery, being operated by neurosurgeon Dr Nitin David, cosmetic surgeon Dr Leena Jain and anaesthetist Dr Nisha Gandhi. It looks likely that the extent of the surgery will only be determined after the surgery has been performed.”
According to Saif’s public relations department, there was indeed an attempt to break into Saif Ali Khan’s house. “He is now in the theatre, and we urge fans and media to bear with us this is a police issue. Work in progress will be presented as new information is obtained.”
This has raised alarm across Bollywood, with the actor’s fans and friends rallying around to ensure that the actor is safe.
