Actor Jackie Shroff was seen losing his cool and getting irritated while speaking about the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan in Mumbai on Tuesday. The actor, who was exiting an event, was asked about the attack on Saif, and he got angry when paps constantly interrupted him while he was speaking.
A video of the incident has now gone viral in which a reporter questioned Jackie about the attack on Saif and asked if Bollywood was in danger. To that, the actor replied, “Dangerous mod pe nahi hai. What happened is very unfortunate but that does not mean that entire Bollywood is under attack. It is very unfortunate, and I hope he is well.”
“Everyone must be alert and take care of themselves, the watchmen of these societies must be careful,” he added.
However, it was then that a photographer flashed his camera at the actor’s face, and he replied with irritation, “Aye muh pe kyu maar raha hai light?” He lost his cool when other paps kept calling his name out while he was speaking to the reporter. “Baat kar rela bawa… Aye, haan chal,” he said while scolding the paps, before quickly regaining his composure.
Meanwhile, Saif’s attacker was arrested from Thane in the wee hours of Sunday. He is reportedly a Bangladeshi national who entered India illegally and was staying near Mumbai for the past few months.
Cops stated that he had entered Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s residence in the wee hours of January 16 with an aim to rob the house, but he attacked the actor to save himself and flee the scene.
Saif was stabbed by the attacker and he suffered six wounds post which he was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he underwent surgery.
