Saif Ali Khan recalls nighttime intruder attack on son Jeh
In a candid conversation with Mojo Story, Saif Ali Khan recalled the horrific events of that night in chilling detail, describing how the situation unfolded when the intruders targeted his son Jah. “We all dealt with it differently. It was a crazy thing. This burglar broke into the bathroom window and the next thing we know is we’re laying in bed and this nanny comes in and tells us there’s someone in Jay’s room with a knife and demanding money. I went to the baby’s room and he was holding the baby and he cut the baby a little and he cut the maid a little. Maybe if I turned on the light, if I asked him, do you know where you are? Do you know what you are doing? I can get him to say it. But something took over me and I jumped on him and we had a fight. He was swinging the knife wildly, leaving cuts and blood everywhere. Just then my maid came in and threw him across the room. “
Saif Ali Khan on whether he can forgive attackers
Saif also spoke about the moment he truly believed he might not survive the stabbing. He further pondered the complex question of whether he could forgive the man who put his life in danger. “I was wearing a white kurta pajama that was covered in blood, and at one point, I was lying on the floor and I thought I might die. At that moment, I really wanted to be with Taimur, and I asked him if he would accompany me to the hospital, and he asked me, ‘Are you going to die?’ I told him no, and we went to the hospital together.” I even want to forgive this guy because I think he made a huge mistake and I don’t think he was looking for a fight. I’d love to forgive him, but the part about him trying to kill me is something I can’t let go of. This is a haves and have-nots issue and it is inequality that creates this situation. “
