Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan faced an attack from an intruder who stabbed him multiple times in the neck and back with a knife. He was quickly rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where doctors performed immediate surgery. Thankfully, he is now out of danger and recovering. The shocking incident has left the entire industry in disbelief.

Akshay Kumar, Saif’s “Main Khiladi Tu Anari” co-star, praised Saif as ‘brave’ for protecting his family. He also jokingly suggested that if they collaborate on a film again, it should be titled “Tu Khiladi”.

Ahead of the release of his upcoming film “Sky Force”, Akshay Kumar attended an event where he spoke about Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing incident. He expressed his relief, saying, “It’s very nice that he is safe. It’s very good. We are happy, and the whole industry is happy that he is safe. It was very brave of him to protect his family, and hats off to him.”

He further added, “I did a film with him called “Main Khiladi Tu Anari”, but next time, if we do a film together, we’ll make it “Tu Khiladi.”

Saif Ali Khan was recently attacked at his Bandra home by intruders who initially targeted his son Jeh’s room. In a brave attempt to shield his family, Saif took action and was stabbed multiple times.

The horrifying incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, January 16, when an intruder attacked Saif. He was immediately rushed to Lilavati Hospital, accompanied by his son Taimur and another person. Saif is now recovering after undergoing surgery.

Mumbai police arrested the accused, Mohammed Shariful Islam Shehzad, on Sunday in Thane. The 30-year-old, originally from Bangladesh, had illegally entered India and changed his name to Vijay Das. According to the police, Shehzad’s motive was robbery. DCP Zone 9, Dixit Gedam, revealed that the attacker arrived in Mumbai 5–6 months ago, stayed briefly in the city, and then relocated nearby.

Shehzad had worked for a housekeeping agency. After his arrest, police presented him in Bandra Court, where the court remanded him to police custody for five days.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is preparing for the release of his highly anticipated film *Sky Force*, which will hit theaters on January 24, just before Republic Day. The high-octane thriller stars Akshay as an Air Force officer on a revenge mission after losing his fellow soldiers.

Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, the film also features debutant Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur in pivotal roles.
