Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder at his Mumbai home in the early hours of Thursday.
The 54-year-old film star was taken to a nearby hospital with six injuries, two of which are deep and one close to his spine.
The intruder was said to have entered Khan’s home in the western suburb of Bandra and engaged in an argument with a female employee. Khan intervened, leading to a scuffle, during which he was stabbed.
It’s scary to think of an intruder walking into an apartment and stabbing the resident! Many questions about how this can happen but first all our prayers with #SaifAliKhan and his family.

Khan, who is the son of former India cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and actress Sharmila Tagore, was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent surgery.
“Khan has come out of surgery and is out of danger. He is currently in recovery and the doctors are monitoring his progress,” his team said in a statement.
The police have also launched an investigation into the incident and are searching for the perpetrator.
The incident has sparked concerns about safety and security in Mumbai, with film stars and opposition leaders calling for increased police presence in the city.
Khan is among the country’s most bankable actors, having featured in more than 70 films and television series, in some also as a producer. He has won multiple awards, including seven Filmfare Awards.
The movie star resides in an apartment in Bandra with his wife Kareena Kapoor-Khan, also an actor, and their two children.
