Saif Ali Khan Stabbed in Mumbai: Actor Stable After Emergency Surgery

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, 54, was attacked by an armed intruder in his Bandra apartment early Thursday morning. The attacker inflicted six stab wounds, including a critical injury near Khan’s spine. The assailant entered the residence, reportedly targeting Khan’s younger son Jeh’s room, and demanded ₹1 crore before fleeing via the building’s fire escape. Despite the severity of his injuries, Khan is now stable after undergoing emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital.


The attack has raised questions about the security measures in one of Mumbai's most upscale residential areas. CCTV footage revealed the suspect wearing a red scarf and carrying a backpack, exiting the building via the stairs. However, key concerns remain unanswered: How did the intruder navigate the premises unnoticed, and was there insider involvement? Police are interrogating house staff and investigating potential lapses in security protocols.

Khan was rushed to the hospital in an auto-rickshaw by his elder son and a domestic help, with blood pouring from his wounds. Surgeons led by neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange performed a 2.5-hour operation to remove a knife tip lodged dangerously close to the mid-spine. Additional procedures addressed wounds on Khan’s neck and wrist.

Doctors emphasized the close call, stating that a millimeter deeper penetration could have caused life-threatening damage. Dr. Dange and a team of specialists successfully stopped spinal fluid leakage and stabilized the actor. Khan remains under observation in the ICU but is expected to be discharged in a few days.

This chilling incident has left Mumbai questioning the vulnerability of even high-profile residents, spotlighting the need for enhanced security measures.
