Mumbai: Rakhi Sawant has reacted to the shocking attack on actor Saif Ali Khan by an intruder at his Bandra residence during the early hours of Thursday.
In a video circulating online, Rakhi, visibly distressed, shared her thoughts on the incident and questioned the lack of security in “high-profile buildings.”
“Oh my God! Such bad news. Saif Ali Khan, with whom I have also worked before, in a song during Rakesh Roshan ji’s film at the very beginning of my struggling days. I could never have imagined, even in my dreams, that such a big tragedy could happen to Saifu,” Rakhi said.
“What are these building people doing? You are taking so much monthly money, and you can’t even install CCTV cameras? What a bad news this is. What is happening in 2025? What is happening with these big people? (What do the people in this building do? You can’t even install CCTV cameras. What is happening in 2025? happening to such great individuals?),” she added.
The actor was attacked by an intruder in his 11th-floor Bandra flat at around 2:30 am on Thursday.
The incident occurred when the intruder allegedly confronted the actor’s maid at his residence. As Saif attempted to intervene and de-escalate the situation, it escalated into a violent altercation, resulting in the actor sustaining several stab wounds.
Saif was immediately taken to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital after being stabbed by the intruder, where he underwent surgery under the supervision of a team of doctors.
According to doctors, Saif sustained a major injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a knife lodged in his spine, and surgery was performed to remove a 2.5-inch-long knife from the actor’s spine and repair his leaking spinal fluid.
While Saif is “out of danger,” doctors are monitoring him.
