Saif Ali Khan was discharged from Lilavati Hospital this evening, and he was all smiles as he reached his residence. The actor even waved at the paparazzi before he went inside the building. While Saif reached his residence, he was accompanied by heavy security. Meanwhile, another actor was also snapped with Saif - it was Ronit Roy. After seeing him with Saif, many wondered what he was doing there just after Saif was discharged from the hospital.
After a security breach at his residence in Bandra, Saif Ali Khan decided to employ personal security, and for that, he reached out to Ronit Roy's security firm. Ronit owns a security firm, and Saif and his family have trusted them to provide security for the actor. When HT reached out to Ronit for more updates, he refrained from making any comments or giving out major updates about the situation. However, he shared, "We are already here with Saif. He is doing fine now and has come back."
Saif Ali Khan was snapped outside his house at Satguru Sharan today. The actor, who was stabbed six times by an intruder, was clicked after he got discharged from the hospital.
