Saif Ali Khan Recalls Details On His Horrifying Burglary Attack: “I Was Covered In Blood, Holding Two Swords, It Was A Film Scene…”

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his Bandra residence by an intruder in an attempted burglary. He suffered multiple stab wounds and was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent surgeries and was kept in the ICU for observation. Now, in his latest interview, the actor broke his silence about the horrifying incident. From facing the attacker heads on to his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan’s reaction during the attack, Saif recalled intricate details about the same.

In an interaction with Delhi Times, Saif Ali Khan recalled how he, along with his house help faced the intruder with two decorative swords after the latter was cornered. However, his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, was against the idea since she was concerned about the safety of their children. The Devara actor said, “It was a film scene where I was covered in blood, and we took two decorative swords off the wall. And that’s what Taimur saw – me covered in blood and Hari, the other house help, holding two swords. So, it was vaguely heroic, at least that moment (laughs). We said – ‘let’s get him’. And Kareena said – ‘No, let’s get out! Because we’ve got to get you to a hospital, and I’ve got to get Jeh out of here because I feel he’s (the intruder) still around, and there could be more of them.’” However, the actor maintained that he does not believe in keeping guns at home for safety purposes.

The actor revealed how he suffered blows on his back along with slashes on his wrist and neck while facing the intruder alone. After the latter escaped, Saif Ali Khan, along with Kareena Kapoor Khan wanted to rush to the hospital but they struggled to find a vehicle or help timely. The Adipurush actor said, “Kareena was shouting for a rickshaw, or a cab or anything. I said, I kind of feel some pain. There’s something wrong with my back. She said, you go the hospital, I will go to my sister’s (Karisma Kapoor’s) house. She was making calls frantically- but nobody was up. And we looked at each other and I said, ‘I’m fine. I’m not going to die.'”
