Happy New Year, everyone!”
Saif Ali Khan on the night of the attack
Kareena’s reflection comes months after a traumatic incident in January 2025, when Saif Ali Khan was attacked by a burglar at their residence and hospitalized for nearly 10 days with multiple stab wounds and a spinal injury.Speaking about the incident for the first time on Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, Saif recalled how the night unfolded. “We had just gone to sleep… it was around 2 o’clock in the morning. Kareena came back, we had a small chat, and then we went to sleep,” he said.He revealed that chaos broke out when their maid rushed in. “She said that somebody was there in Jeh’s room and asking for money. I barged into Jeh’s room in the dark, and I saw this guy standing over his bed with a knife.”
‘He had already cut Jeh on his hand’
Saif shared that the attacker had already injured their younger son Jeh and the nanny. “While poking the knife at Jeh and the nanny, he had already slightly cut Jeh on his hand and had also hurt the nanny,” the actor said.Describing the confrontation, Saif added, “I thought he was smaller than me, so I jumped on him. Jeh later told me it was a big mistake. He had two knives and started slashing all over me.”
‘There was blood everywhere’
Recalling the most frightening moment, Saif said, “I suddenly felt this thump in my back… At that point, he had cut me everywhere — my neck and my back — and there was blood everywhere.”He also spoke about son Taimur witnessing the aftermath. “Taimur looked at me and said, ‘Oh my God.’ He thought I was probably going to die. I told him, ‘I’m not going to die. I’m fine.’”
Ringing in the New Year together
Currently, Kareena and Saif are on a family holiday with sons Taimur and Jeh, where they will ring in the New Year together. The actress has been sharing glimpses from their vacation on social media, offering a calmer, happier note as the family steps into 2026.
