Mumbai, Jan 17 (NationPress) Saif Ali Khan caused a stir of concern after sustaining significant injuries during a robbery attempt at his residence in Bandra. Dr. Nitin Dange, the Chief Neurosurgeon at Lilavati Hospital, provided insights, stating that the actor was fortunate to escape a grave fate by just 2 mm.
Expanding on this, Dr. Dange explained, "The object was perilously close to his spinal cord. Had it penetrated even 2 mm deeper, he could have faced paralysis."
When discussing the actor's demeanor upon arrival at the hospital, Dr. Dange noted, "He exhibited signs of fear, but he is on the path to recovery swiftly."
Dr. Dange further detailed Saif's condition upon reaching the hospital, stating, "Saif Ali Khan arrived at Lilavati Hospital between 2:30 and 3:00 PM, having come by auto with his child. He was placed in a regular room, not the ICU. His injuries included wounds on his hand and neck, but the most critical injury was to his spinal cord, where a knife was embedded. Following a CT scan, we discovered the knife's proximity to the spinal cord and promptly initiated a six-hour surgery, during which we removed the knife from his back."
In an intriguing turn of events, the Mumbai police recently discovered an antique sword at Saif Ali Khan's residence in Bandra. However, it remains uncertain if it belongs to the actor's family lineage, as he possesses numerous antique items, including the renowned Pataudi Palace.
On January 16, 2025, Saif was attacked with a 2.5-inch knife by an intruder who gained access through his youngest son, Jeh's room. The actor was stabbed multiple times while trying to fend off the burglar in the early hours.
Currently, the actor is reported to be stable and recuperating.
