Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was injured in a late-night home attack by an armed intruder at his Bandra residence. The actor sustained serious injuries defending his family. Police are investigating the incident, leveraging CCTV footage to identify the suspect, who demanded money and fled the scene.

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was attacked in a terrifying incident by an armed intruder at his Bandra home early on Thursday morning. The intruder, armed with a knife and stick, left the actor, his staff, and his son’s nanny injured before fleeing the scene. The horrific attack took place at around 2:30 am in the upscale Satguru Sharan building, shocking the city and sparking a massive police manhunt.

The horrifying sequence unfolded near the room of Khan’s four-year-old son, Jeh.

Philip, Jeh’s nanny, recounted the chilling moments when she encountered the armed intruder.

“I saw a thin, short man come out of the bathroom and approach Jeh’s bed,” Philip said in her police statement. “He pointed a finger at me and said, ‘Koi awaz nahin (Don’t make any noise).’ When I tried to intervene, he attacked me with a blade.”

When she resisted, he attacked her, causing severe injuries to her hands and wrists.

Despite the chaos, Philip managed to alert the family. Saif and his wife, Kareena Kapoor, rushed out of their room, only for Saif to be brutally attacked. The assailant fled down the stairs, evading security.

Dr Niraj Uttamani, chief operating officer at the hospital, said, “The surgery went well. Saif is stable and recovering in the ICU. We expect a full recovery in the coming days.” Neurosurgeon Dr Nitin Dange added, “In addition to the spinal injury, there were deep wounds on his neck and left hand, which required plastic surgery.”
