Saif Ali Khan’s neighbour, actor Karishma Tanna, has spoken out over the recent stabbing incident that occurred at his home in Mumbai. She called the incident a wake-up call for everyone and stressed the value of being vigilant.
During a failed burglary attempt on Thursday, an unidentified assailant entered Saif’s house and stabbed him at least six times. After being sent to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, Saif was treated there. According to reports, his status is presently stable.
In an interview with ETimes, Karishma described the scenario as “scary” and urged for more protection in their neighbourhood. Karishma’s residence is directly across from Saif and Kareena Kapoor’s building in the same lane. Saif and his family reside at the Satguru Sharan building.
Karishma said, “It’s a crazy scene outside as I am talking to you… there are a lot of cops and media downstairs. The whole incident is a wakeup call for a lot of stand along buildings in Bandra. I have been telling everybody in my cooperative housing society for over a year or even more to increase the security. ”
“The watchmen I feel need to be properly trained. They are not reliable in case of such incidents. If a burglar barges in your building, the watchmen are not trained enough to tackle the situation. How will a family handle such a situation? It’s very scary.”
“I hope people learn from this incident. Whatever happened to this family nobody deserves it. I am sure even my building will tighten the security now and have more guards on board”, she concluded.
Around three in the morning on Thursday, an intruder came into the home of 54-year-old Saif Ali Khan and attacked him. He is safe after undergoing surgery at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital for stab wounds. Six police teams have been sent to apprehend the suspects as part of the Mumbai team’s investigation into the incident.
