Mumbai: In a shocking and emotional revelation, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan opened up about the terrifying stabbing incident that occurred earlier this year at his home. Speaking on the latest episode of Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle, where he appeared alongside Akshay Kumar, Saif shared the chilling details of the night that nearly turned tragic.
Saif recalled that his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, was out that night, and he had just finished watching a movie with his sons, Taimur and Jeh. “Then, the maid came in and she said, ‘Jeh baba ke kamre mein koi hai. Uske haath mein chaaku hai aur bol raha hai usko paisa chahiye.’ I kind of heard that and rolled out of bed. I barged into Jeh’s room in the dark, and I saw this guy standing over his bed with a knife,” Saif revealed.
When Akshay asked if the intruder was threatening Jeh, Saif confirmed, “He had cut him. He had cut his arm slightly, a little nick here, and the sister (Jeh’s nanny) got the nick on her hand. He was kind of poking the knife at them.”
The Jewel Thief actor continued, describing the intense struggle that followed. “I jumped on him. Jeh later told me, ‘It was a big mistake. You should have punched or kicked him instead.’ But I jumped and we started this fight. He went mad. He had two knives, and he started slashing all over me,” Saif said.
He further recalled, “I tried to remember my training and blocked a couple of them. But then I felt a thump in my back that was really hard. Everyone was out of the room. Gita, our domestic help, aided me in this struggle and pushed the guy off me, and pretty much saved my life at that point because he had cut me everywhere — my neck, my back — there was blood everywhere. Then we locked him in a room.”
When Akshay asked if the intruder was still inside, Saif revealed, “He had escaped the way he came. He came through a drain pipe.”
