Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was discharged from Lilavati Hospital after a five-day stay following a stabbing incident at his home last week. The 54-year-old actor left the hospital with his wife, Kareena Kapoor, and returned to their residence in Bandra.
Saif was attacked on Thursday morning when an intruder entered his home and stabbed him multiple times. The actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital at around 3 a.m. and immediately underwent a five-hour emergency surgery. Doctors at the hospital initially reported that Saif had suffered six injuries, two of which were deep cuts. They also mentioned that he was leaking spinal fluid upon arrival, which indicated the severity of his condition. Despite these injuries, doctors confirmed that Saif had been fortunate to avoid life-threatening damage, and his recovery was progressing well.
After the surgery, Saif was placed in the ICU for observation. The actor’s condition was stable by the weekend, and medical professionals expressed optimism about his recovery. His wife, Kareena Kapoor, has been by his side throughout his treatment, offering her support during this difficult time.
The police have arrested the individual responsible for the attack. On Sunday, they apprehended Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, a 30-year-old man who had reportedly changed his name to Vijay Das. Fakir was taken into custody and remanded for five days. The police investigation revealed that the intruder had planned to burglarize the house, unaware that it belonged to Saif Ali Khan. Fakir reportedly targeted the residence, assuming it was the home of a wealthy individual, not realizing it was the actor’s property.
Authorities have said that they will recreate the crime scene at Saif’s Bandra home with the accused to understand the full extent of the attack. The investigation is ongoing, with police working to clarify the motives behind the violent incident.
For now, Saif Ali Khan is expected to continue his recovery at home, where he can rest and recuperate with his family. Fans and well-wishers have expressed relief that the actor survived the brutal attack and is on the path to recovery.
As Saif returns to his normal routine, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks that celebrities face in their private lives, as well as the importance of security measures in safeguarding their homes and loved ones.
