Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is undergoing surgery at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai after sustaining stab wounds during a robbery attempt at his Bandra West residence in the early hours of Thursday, January 16, 2025. The hospital confirmed that Khan’s condition is being closely monitored, and a neurosurgeon is part of the team handling his treatment due to the proximity of one injury to his spine.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. when an unidentified intruder reportedly entered Saif’s residence. According to police, Khan was injured during a confrontation with the intruder, who wielded a knife. While the extent of the robbery attempt remains under investigation, police officials have not yet disclosed further details about the suspect or the motive behind the break-in.

Lilavati Hospital’s COO, Dr. Uttamani, provided updates on the actor’s injuries, stating that Saif sustained six wounds, including two deep injuries. “One injury on his back is close to the spine, which necessitates the involvement of a neurosurgeon,” Dr. Uttamani revealed.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s team also released a statement assuring fans that their children are safe and thanking everyone for their support during this challenging time.
The incident has sparked widespread concern, with messages of support pouring in from fans and public figures.
