Later,
Saif’s
children,
Ibrahim
Ali
Khan
and
Sara
Ali
Khan,
also
arrived
to
check
on
him.

Just
before
that,
Kareena
Kapoor
took
to
her
Instagram
to
share
a
statement.

‘It
has
been
an
incredibly
challenging
day
for
our
family,
and
we
are
still
trying
to
process
the
events
that
have
unfolded.
As
we
navigate
this
difficult
time,
I
respectfully
and
humbly
request
that
the
media
and
paparazzi
refrain
from
the
relentless
speculation
and
coverage,’
read
the
statement.

‘While
we
appreciate
the
concern
and
support,
the
constant
scrutiny
and
attention
are
not
only
overwhelming
but
also
pose
a
significant
risk
to
our
safety.
I
kindly
request
that
you
respect
our
boundaries
and
give
us
the
space
we
need
to
heal
and
cope
as
a
family.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
your
understanding
and
cooperation
during
this
sensitive
time.’

The
incident
at
Saif’s
residence
has
raised
concerns
about
safety
in
Mumbai
and
has
left
the
actor’s
fans
and
colleagues
from
the
film
fraternity
deeply
worried.

An
intruder
allegedly
confronted
the
actor’s
maid
at
his
residence
in
the
Satguru
Sharan
building
in
Bandra,
north
west
Mumbai.

As
Saif
attempted
to
intervene,
it
escalated
into
a
violent
altercation,
resulting
in
the
actor
sustaining
six
stab
wounds.

Saif
was
rushed
to
Lilavati
Hospital,
where
he
underwent
surgery
under
the
supervision
of
a
team
of
doctors.
