Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was repeatedly stabbed by an intruder in his high-rise apartment in upscale Bandra early Thursday and rushed to the hospital with the blade still lodged in his spine, an audacious attack that raises intriguing questions about security and celebrity life in the financial and showbiz hub.
The 54-year-old, who received six stab injuries, including in his neck, was out of danger following emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital, where he was taken after the attack outside his younger son Jeh's room around 2:30 a.m.
In a statement to the police, Jeh's nanny, Eliyama Philip, who first encountered the armed attacker, said he demanded Rs 1 crore. The intruder did not force his entry or break into the actor's flat but possibly sneaked in at some point during the night with the intention of robbery, police officials said. The attacker, who made his escape through the stairs, remains on the run.
On Thursday night, Kareena Kapoor issued a statement: "It has been an incredibly challenging day for our family, and we are still trying to process the events that have unfolded. As we navigate this difficult time, I respectfully and humbly request that the media and paparazzi refrain from relentless speculations and coverage."
She further wrote, "While we appreciate the concern and support, the constant scrutiny and attention are not only overwhelming but also pose a significant risk to our safety. I kindly request that you respect our boundaries and give us the space we need to heal and cope as a family. I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation during this sensitive time."
