Singer Mika Singh recently expressed his desire to thank Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto-rickshaw driver who assisted Saif Ali Khan in reaching the hospital, with an amount of Rs 1 lakh. The actor, who had been injured by an intruder at his Bandra home, required quick medical attention, so Bhajan raced him to the hospital and refused to accept payment from Saif for his efforts.?
Mika Singh shared Saif and the auto-rickshaw driver's photo on his Instagram account and said, "I strongly believe he deserves a reward of at least Rs 11 lakh for saving India's favourite superstar. His heroic act is truly commendable! If possible, could you please share his contact information with me? I'd like to reward him with Rs 1 lakh as a token of appreciation."
Bhajan, however, previously declined any payment from Saif for his help. Speaking to ANI, he said, "I was called to the Bandra Police Station for questioning... I didn't think about money that night. I have not been contacted by Kareena Kapoor or anyone else so far. I haven't had any conversation with them."
He went on to relate the events of the night, explaining that he had no idea Saif Ali Khan was in his rickshaw at first.?
"His back was hurt. I felt very bad because he was bleeding. I had no idea that Saif Ali Khan was sitting in my rickshaw. I thought it was just some injured person... When Saif and his son got down from the rickshaw at Lilavati Hospital, I realised that the star actor was sitting with me," Bhajan said.?
The attack occurred when an intruder, later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, entered into the actor's residence with the purported intent to steal. During a confrontation between the intruder and Saif's housemaid, Saif sought to interfere and was stabbed in the thoracic spine.
