Columnist Shobhaa De spoke to NDTV after the attack and expressed her shock and concern over the incident. She told NDTV, “The question is how law and order situation in Mumbai had deteriorated to this extent. Bandra has become itself a lawless suburb. Brazen attacks are taking place not just on Bollywood celebrities. Every high-profile business person or any high-profile business person or otherwise person are living in fear.”
In response to the incident, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s teams issued statements.
The statement from Kareena’s team read, “There was an attempted burglary at Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s residence last night. Saif had an injury on his arm for which he is in hospital, undergoing a procedure. The rest of the family is doing fine. We request the media and fans to be patient and not speculate any further as the Police are already doing their due investigations. Thank you all for your concern.”
“There was an attempted burglary at Mr. Saif Ali Khan’s residence. He is currently in hospital undergoing surgery. We request the media and fans to be patient. It is a police matter,” the official statement said.
The hospital recently issued a statement. Dr Niraj Uttamani, the COO of Lilavati Hospital, shared details about Saif’s condition, confirming that the actor had been stabbed by an unidentified assailant during the burglary. Saif sustained six stab wounds, with two of them being particularly deep.
One of the wounds was close to his spine. Dr Uttamani explained that Saif was brought to the hospital around 3:30 AM and is being treated by a team of specialists.
A source close to the actor revealed that Saif fought off the thief without any weapon, attempting to protect his family during the early morning attack.
The police have launched an investigation and are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area surrounding the house. If reports are to be believed, Kareena and her children are unharmed and safe.
