Kareena Kapoor's spokesperson has addressed the incident involving her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, who was stabbed. Saif is currently undergoing surgery at Lilavati Hospital, with doctors assuring that no vital organs were hit and his spine remains unharmed, reports Hindustan Times.
In a statement to the media, Kareena's team said, "There was an attempted burglary in Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's residence last night. Saif had an injury on his arm for which he is in the hospital, undergoing a procedure. The rest of the family is doing fine."
The statement urged the media not to speculate and added, "We request media and fans to be patient and not speculate any further as the Police are already doing their due investigations." The statement was signed by Team Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Earlier in the day, Saif's team also issued their official statement: "There was an attempted burglary at Mr Saif Ali Khan’s residence. He is currently in hospital undergoing surgery. We request the media and fans to be patient. It is a police matter. We will keep you updated on the situation," it read.
Lilavati Hospital COO Dr Niraj Uttamani told HT that the actor has six wounds on his body. A doctor at Leelavati Hospital, who sought anonymity, told HT that the doctors found a piece of knife in the body and the doctors are still examining the extent of damage. However, the actor is able to move his limbs, which shows that the spine is ok.
An unknown person entered Saif Ali Khan’s residence and argued with his domestic help around 2.30 am on Thursday. News agency ANI quoted a Mumbai Police source as saying, "When the actor tried to intervene and pacify the man, he attacked Saif Ali Khan and injured him. Police are investigating the matter."
Saif's wife, actor Kareena Kapoor, and their two sons - Taimur and Jeh - were also in the house when the assault took place. Saif's older son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, eventually reached his house and took the actor to the Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
The attack took place at Saif and Kareena's Bandra home in the early hours of Thursday.
