Bollywood Actor Saif Ali Khan Recovering After Knife Attack
A suspect has been detained by Mumbai police in connection with the violent incident involving beloved Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan.
Late Thursday night, 54-year-old Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his home in the upscale Bandra neighborhood. An eyewitness, nurse Eliyama Philip, relayed to police that she first saw the assailant—armed with a long blade—threatening her and another caretaker while seeking ransom. In the chaos that ensued, Khan and his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor, intervened, leading to Khan suffering multiple stab wounds, one of which posed a serious risk but was expertly addressed by medical professionals at Lilavati Hospital.
Dr. Nitin Dange confirmed that timely medical intervention was crucial, as Khan suffered from substantial bleeding and a knife fragment had been lodged in his back. After undergoing surgery, Khan has now stabilized and is expected to make a full recovery—though he will be under strict precautions and limited movement in the following weeks. As the investigation proceeds, officers are gathering evidence, including CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts, to ascertain how the suspect gained entry into Khan’s residence and locate the weapon used in the attack. Saif Ali Khan, son of late cricket player Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and renowned actress Sharmila Tagore, has built a significant career, winning multiple awards and earning acclaim for his performances, particularly his role in the acclaimed film Omkara.
