About Saif Ali Khan’s knife attack

Saif Ali Khan was attacked in the early hours of January 16 at his Bandra home in Mumbai. He was immediately rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where doctors revealed that he was leaking spinal fluid upon arrival. The actor underwent spinal and plastic surgeries during a five-hour-long procedure and was later shifted to the ICU for close monitoring.
A piece of the knife was removed from Saif’s body during surgery. He was discharged from the hospital on January 21 after doctors confirmed that his condition had stabilised. The intruder was later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, who reportedly entered Saif’s residence with the intent to commit theft.

While the incident sent shockwaves through the film industry and among fans, Saif’s recovery and Kareena’s emotional message underline the family’s resolve to move forward. As they step into 2026, Kareena’s words reflect resilience, gratitude and an unshaken commitment to life and cinema.
