Saif Ali Khan stabbed 10 times defending son Jeh

In January 2025, an intruder attacked Saif Ali Khan and his family at their Mumbai residence. The actor sustained approximately ten stab wounds to his neck and back while confronting the attacker who stood over his young son, Jeh. This act of bravery, described by Saif as a 'Hindi cinema instinct,' led his son to offer him a plastic sword for future protection.

The terrifying ordeal had a profound impact on the family. Kareena Kapoor Khan reported experiencing significant psychological distress, struggling to sleep for nearly six months following the incident. Saif himself was seriously injured, requiring hospitalization and surgery.

Reflecting on the event, Saif Ali Khan stressed the importance of personal security in an increasingly unsafe world. He advised caution for the public, noting that adequate security arrangements are now a necessity.

The confrontation occurred swiftly within the home, and Saif, along with household help Hari, initially considered further confrontation. However, Kareena insisted Saif receive immediate medical attention, preventing further risk.
