An intruder broke into actor Saif Ali Khan’s residence in Bandra on Thursday. The suspect threatened house helps and demanded Rs 1 crore. Saif Ali Khan, hearing the commotion, rushed to the room, and was injured in a scuffle with the attacker.
The incident occurred late at night at Saif’s apartment on the 12th floor of a luxury building in Mumbai.
According to statements recorded by the police, Saif Ali Khan’s housemaid noticed a shadow near the bathroom. Initially she thought it was Kareena Kapoor checking on their younger son, but then she grew suspicious and moved closer to investigate. Suddenly, a man aged between 35 to 40 attacked the maid, threatening her with a sharp weapon and ordering her to stay quiet. A second housemaid arrived during the altercation. When they asked him what he wanted, he said Rs 1 crore.
Hearing the commotion, Saif Ali Khan descended from his room and confronted the intruder. A physical struggle ensued, during which Saif sustained injuries at six different spots on his body. Notably, a sharp weapon broke and remained lodged in his body.
Due to the severity of Saif’s injuries and the absence of a driver at the time, the family swiftly called his son Ibrahim Ali Khan for help. Ibrahim, along with his sister Sara Ali Khan—both residing on the 8th floor—hurried upstairs. None of them knew how to operate the family’s automatic electric vehicle, and so they rushed Saif to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw.
