Saif Ali Khan was attacked in the early hours of January 16, 2025, at his Bandra residence in Mumbai.
He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where doctors discovered he was leaking spinal fluid upon arrival. The actor underwent both spinal and plastic surgeries in a five-hour operation and was subsequently shifted to the ICU.
During the procedure, doctors removed a piece of the knife from Saif’s body. He remained under medical care for several days and was discharged from the hospital on January 21.
The intruder involved in the attack was later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, who reportedly entered Saif’s home with the intention of committing theft.
Kareena’s message marked one of the most personal acknowledgements of the incident since it occurred, offering a glimpse into how deeply the attack affected not just the actor, but their children and extended family as well.
