MUMBAI: Actor Saif Ali Khan confronted his assailant unarmed, barehanded, and alone. However, the assailant was armed with two knives. The actor, however, claims in a recent interview that he and his housekeeper nearly used ceremonial swords to pursue the intruder but were stopped by wife Kareena Kapoor.

As per Delhi Times/Hindustan Times Saif said, “It was a film scene where I was covered in blood, and we took two decorative swords off the wall. And that’s what Taimur saw – me covered in blood and Hari, the other house help, holding two swords. So, it was vaguely heroic, at least that moment (laughs). We said – ‘let’s get him’. And Kareena said – ‘No, let’s get out! Because we’ve got to get you to a hospital, and I’ve got to get Jeh out of here because I feel he’s (the intruder) still around, and there could be more of them.”
Saif further said, “I didn’t believe in that anymore. I thought some kid will get hold of it, and then there’ll be other problems. I mean there are guns around at Pataudi. All the people who have guns – Rajwaras and the Rajasthanis – have been messaging me that they can’t believe that guy got away with it. My father used to sleep with a shotgun by his bed. But sometimes, I believe accidents happen because there was a gun. Young kids would definitely play with it or God knows what can happen.”

Saif had two procedures during his five days in the Lilavati Hospital. According to his medical team, they had to fix the spinal fluid leak and remove a portion of the knife from his back. On January 21, Saif was released from the hospital. He attended a Netflix India event earlier this month, marking his first public appearance since the attack. Saif advertised Jewel Thief, his next movie, while wearing a cast on his hand and a bandage over his neck. Jaideep Ahlawat also appears in the movie.
