Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan suffered “severe injuries” after being stabbed six times at his home in Mumbai.
The 54-year-old Indian actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he received immediate medical attention, after being attacked by an intruder on Wednesday night.
After the procedure, Dr. Nitin Dange from the medical facility described Saif’s injuries.
“He has a major injury to the thoracic spine caused by a stab wound to the spine,” the doctor told the Indian press.
“A surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair the spinal fluid,” he explained, adding, “Two more deep wounds on his left hand and one on his neck were repaired by the plastic surgery team. OK?”
The medical practitioner confirmed that Race The star is out of danger, completely stable, and recovering.
According to the official statement released by the teams of Saif and his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan, it was a case of theft.
When one of the nannies living in the house screamed at the intruder, Saif confronted the assailant unarmed with six stabs. Two of them were deep.
Mumbai Police confirmed that 44-year-old Kareena and her children Taimur and Jaya were in the house at the time of the incident and further assured that everyone except Saif was safe.
