Saif said, “Kareena and my sons were scared when they saw so much blood coming out of my body. They quickly arranged for me to be sent to the hospital.”
The actor further said, “We came downstairs after hearing Jehar’s screams. Our two sons live downstairs, along with their nanny and maids. When we went there, we saw an unknown person fighting with the son’s nanny. He had a sharp knife in his hand. Realizing the danger, I grabbed him from behind.”
Saif’s description, “At that moment, I was hit. He stabbed me in the back, neck and hand. Even though the grip was loose, the assailant could not get out of my reach. Finally, I somehow locked him in a room.
