Saif Ali Khan Recalls Stabbing Incident

So, we went to sleep quite late, around two in the morning. After Kareena returned, we had a small chat before we turned in. Then, the maid came in and she said, ‘Jeh baba ke kamre mein koi hai.

“I kind of heard that and rolled out of bed. I barged into Jeh’s room in the dark and I saw this guy standing over his bed with a knife. I thought he was smaller than me, which means he’s not very large. And I jumped on him. Jeh later told me, ‘It was a big mistake. You should have punched or kicked him instead.’ But I jumped and we started this fight. He went mad. He had two knives and he started slashing all over me.”
Saif added, “I tried to remember my training and blocked a couple of them. But then I felt a thump in my back that was really hard. By then, everyone was out of their rooms. Gita, our domestic help, aided me in this struggle and pushed the guy off me. She saved my life at that point because he had cut me everywhere. Then we locked him in a room.”
