Last month, the news of Saif Ali Khan being attacked with a knife left many people shocked, raising concerns about security of both celebrities and common people. Meanwhile, this breathtaking incident led to speculation and raised multiple rumours about possible connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, given their previous threats against Bollywood celebrities including Salman Khan. Additionally, the recent murder of politician Baba Siddique, a close friend of Salman added to the concerns. However, Saif Ali Khan has now spoken up to clarify what really happened that night and if he’s under threat or under planned attack.
Saif Ali Khan Denies Any Threat
In an interview with the Times of India, Saif Ali Khan addressed concerns about safety in Mumbai and whether he now feels unsafe in his own home. He firmly stated that he has never believed in having security personnel or keeping weapons for safety. “I’ve never believed in security. People were saying, ‘Why don’t they have more security?’ I never wanted to walk around with three of these guys. I think it would be a nightmare for me. And I still won’t, because I don’t think this is an attack on me,” he said.
How the Intruder Entered the House
Saif Ali Khan also clarified that neither he nor his family was under any kind of threat. He believes that the attack was not premeditated but a burglary attempt that went wrong. “This is a mistake that happened. I firmly believe a guy climbed up a drainpipe, squeezed through a hole, and arrived in our house. I don’t think he knew whose house it was. It’s not an inside job. It’s none of these things. And the police have done a fantastic job,” he explained. He also admitted that the bathroom’s door and the window in Jeh’s room was not locked properly which made way for the intruder to enter.
Saif Ali Khan on Keeping Weapons for Security
When asked whether he would now consider keeping weapons at home for added security, Saif Ali Khan dismissed the idea. “Nothing will change. See, if you start doing that… because I don’t feel I’m under threat. It was not a premeditated attack. I think it was just a burglary attempt gone wrong. That poor guy, his life is more screwed than mine,” he said, expressing sympathy for the intruder.
The actor recalled how the night unfolded and how he and Kareena handled the situation. While Kareena took Jeh to her sister Karisma’s house, Saif rushed to the hospital with Taimur.
He underwent a six-hour surgery, with the spine surgery alone taking 2.5 hours. Saif was stabbed six times while trying to restrain the intruder, who was holding two knives. Despite the injuries, he is now recovering well and is busy promoting his upcoming film, The Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins.
