Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his residence in Mumbai’s Bandra in the wee hours of Tuesday in a robbery bid. The actor, who was gravely injured in the attack, was reportedly rushed to the hospital by his 8-year-old son Taimur Ali Khan and his caretaker post the incident.

An unidentified person entered Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s house in the Satguru Sharan building in Bandra around 2:30 am in a bid to attempt a robbery. However, the staff at the couple’s house woke up due to the noise, and when they raised an alarm, Saif got into a scuffle with the intruder to stop him.
It was then that the intruder stabbed Saif and the actor sustained six injuries, two of which are deep, and one is near the spine. He reportedly also suffered an injury near his neck.
