Mamta Kulkarni on Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident

Yesteryear diva Mamta Kulkarni recently shared her concerns after Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident.

Emphasizing the need to upgrade security systems, Mamta Kulkarni said, "I was really saddened to learn about Saif's condition. I am deeply concerned regarding the security in the city. Why would they take the lives of their employers so lightly? Are they not being paid properly? I would like it if we all treat our security personnel with love so that they give importance to the lives of their employers. This incident is not only limited to Saif; such cases are taking place in various places like Gujarat, Mumbai, and Rajkot. Security personnel fall asleep, and robbers manage to enter buildings. So, we need to tighten our security. I am deeply concerned about Saif, and I will pray to the Almighty that he regains his health quickly."
