Attack on Saif Ali Khan
Meanwhile, the Mumbai police recently recovered another melee weapon from the 'Omkara' actor’s home. They found an old sword from Saif Ali Khan's Bandra house. However, it is not clear whether it is a part of the actor’s ancestral property. Coming from Nawab's lineage, the star owns many such antique possessions including the Pataudi Palace.
If the reports are to be believed, Saif Ali Khan was attacked with a 2.5-inch knife by an assailant after he entered his Bandra house through his youngest son, Jeh’s room. He was stabbed multiple times during his attempt to fight off a burglar during the wee hours on 16th January 2025.
The 'Hum Tum' actor sustained six stab wounds, two of which are closer to his spine. According to the media reports, doctors removed the 2.5 inches of knife from his wound. Saif Ali Khan underwent surgery and has now been shifted to the ICU. He is said to be out of danger, and recovering well.
