Saif Ali Khan has opened up about the terrifying night when he was attacked in his own home in Bandra. The actor recalled how his wife, Kareena Kapoor, reacted in sheer panic, making frantic calls in search of help while trying to ensure the safety of their son, Jeh.
A Night of Chaos and Fear
Saif was at home when an intruder managed to enter the premises, armed with a knife and demanding money. Kareena had just returned from a dinner outing, while Saif had chosen to stay in due to an early morning commitment.
Their peaceful night was shattered when their house help ran in with alarming news. “There’s an intruder! There’s a guy in Jeh’s room with a knife asking for money!” the staff member screamed. What followed was a night of chaos, fear, and desperate attempts to find help.
Kareena’s Immediate Reaction
The moment Kareena realized what was happening, she rushed into action. Saif recalled how she was “shouting for a rickshaw or a cab” as they scrambled to get him to a hospital. With no immediate help available, she dialed multiple numbers, only to find that no one was awake.
She wasn’t just panicking. She was also ensuring their children’s safety. Her screams echoed through the house as she checked on Jeh, who had been closest to the intruder. Meanwhile, Saif, despite his injuries, tried to remain composed.
The Attack and Its Aftermath
The details of the attack remain chilling. The intruder, whose identity is still being investigated, managed to bypass security and entered their home. With a knife in hand, he confronted Saif before things turned violent.
The actor sustained multiple stab wounds, though he managed to fend off the attacker before help eventually arrived. The family is still recovering from the trauma, with heightened security measures now in place at their residence.
Taimur’s Innocent Question
Perhaps the most heartbreaking moment came from Saif and Kareena’s elder son, Taimur. Just minutes after the attack, as Saif was being rushed to the hospital, Taimur asked him a question no parent ever wants to hear: “Are you going to die?”
Saif revealed that, despite his pain, he made sure to reassure his son. He wanted to remain strong, not just for himself, but for his family. The attack may have left physical scars, but for the family, the emotional impact runs far deeper.
A Wake-Up Call for Celebrity Security
The incident has once again raised concerns over celebrity security in Mumbai. How could an armed intruder enter the home of one of Bollywood’s most high-profile couples?
Security experts stress the need for tighter measures, especially in celebrity homes, where threats can be unpredictable. In the aftermath of the attack, several Bollywood stars have begun reassessing their own security arrangements, fearing that this could happen to anyone.
