Karishma Tanna
Actor Karishma Tanna, neighbour of Saif Ali Khan, reacted to the stabbing incident. She urged vigilance, stating that it’s a wake-up call for everyone. Speaking to The Times of India, Karishma said, “It’s a crazy scene outside right now… cops and media are everywhere. This incident is a wake-up call for many standalone buildings in Bandra.”
Karishma emphasised the need for better security measures, adding, “I’ve been urging my housing society to increase security for over a year. Watchmen need proper training – they’re not equipped to handle emergencies like this. If a burglar breaks in, how can a family defend themselves? It’s terrifying.”
Official Statements on Saif’s Condition
Saif’s team released an update regarding his condition after the stabbing incident. The statement confirmed that he is safe and has successfully emerged from surgery. He is currently recovering under close medical supervision.
The medical team at Lilavati Hospital issued a statement confirming that none of Saif’s stab wounds affected vital organs. Out of the six wounds, two are superficial, while two are deep—one near his spine and another on his left hand. Fortunately, all family members are reported safe, and the police are actively investigating the incident.
