Actor Saif Ali Khan was seriously injured with six stab wounds and was quickly taken to Lilavati hospital in an auto-rickshaw by his elder son Ibrahim, who is also an actor. Ibrahim could not find a car to use, so he and his injured father got into the three-wheeler and rushed to the hospital, which was about two kilometers from their home. Footage shows Saif's wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, standing next to the auto-rickshaw and talking to the house staff. The 54-year-old Saif suffered six stab injuries, including one near his spine, during a fight with an intruder at his home late at night. He underwent surgery and is now out of danger, according to his team's statement, which also said that all other family members are safe. The police investigation indicates that the intruder entered Saif Ali Khan's house with the intention of committing a robbery.
The police are examining security camera footage to identify the attacker, who fled after stabbing the actor. Authorities suspect the attacker is connected to one of the actor's household staff, who also allowed the attacker access to the actor's home. This staff member is now being questioned as the police investigate the shocking incident in an upscale area of Mumbai. The attack on the actor has caused concern among other members of the film industry. An actor has stated she has never felt so unsafe and has urged the Chief Minister to increase police presence in Bandra. The Opposition has strongly criticized the government and questioned the safety of ordinary citizens in Mumbai if even celebrities are attacked in this way.

The actor, who is 54 years old, was attacked in one of the most affluent areas of Mumbai. He suffered six stab wounds, including one near his spine, and has been hospitalized at Lilavati Hospital. While he has undergone surgery, he is now reported to be out of danger.
