Bollywood¡¯s power couple is reeling from a night of horror after an intruder brutally attacked actor Saif Ali Khan at his Bandra residence. In an Instagram post, Kareena Kapoor Khan described the day as ¡°incredibly challenging¡± for the family while urging the media to stop relentless speculation.
Saif was left with six knife wounds, including a 2.5-inch piece of blade lodged in his spine, which doctors at Lilavati Hospital have now removed. The actor also sustained two deep cuts while confronting the attacker, who demanded ?1 crore and threatened the couple's youngest child, Jeh.
Kareena¡¯s post struck a chord with fans, as she shared that the family is still ¡°trying to process¡± the events and asked for privacy during this difficult time. ¡°The constant scrutiny not only overwhelms us but also jeopardizes our safety,¡± Kareena said, requesting boundaries from the media.
?Actors Bhumi Pednekar, Ranveer Singh, and other celebs showed support to the Pataudi family in the comment section.?
The nightmare began around 2 a.m. on Thursday, when the intruder broke into Jeh¡¯s room. Nurse Eliyama Philip, who was the first to encounter him, described waking up to see a thin man with a wooden stick and a hacksaw-like blade. When she tried to alert Saif and Kareena, the attacker demanded silence.
Upon hearing the commotion, Saif confronted the intruder but was overpowered. The man attacked the actor before fleeing the scene. CCTV footage captured the suspect leaving the building at 2:33 a.m., wearing a brown collared t-shirt and a red scarf (gamcha).
The attacker remains at large, with police combing through leads to track him down. Kareena¡¯s post emphasized that media speculation could hinder the investigation, urging for ¡°understanding and cooperation.¡±
As the family grapples with this shocking ordeal, fans and Bollywood insiders are rallying behind them. Kareena¡¯s heartfelt words reflect the toll the incident has taken on their family, but also their determination to heal and move forward.
The big question remains: Will the police nab the suspect before he strikes again? As Saif continues to recover, all eyes are on the Bandra Police to crack the case and deliver justice to Bollywood royalty.
