The shocking attack occurred in January, when the intruder broke into the room of Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s younger son, Jeh. Saif intervened to stop the assailant and sustained multiple stab wounds. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent a five-hour surgery. Fortunately, the actor recovered, though the incident left a lasting emotional impact on his family. Since then, Saif and Kareena have taken strict measures to tighten home security and have urged paparazzi to respect their children’s privacy.

In a previous interview, Saif had reflected on the life-threatening moment, admitting how close it came to tragedy. “There’s this crazy sense of how lucky one is because it was damn close. To walk away relatively unscathed is nothing short of miraculous,” he said. “When I was lying there, my life flashed before my eyes — my school days, travels, my wife, my children… I remember feeling grateful for the life I’ve had.”
