Incident Overview
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan recently survived a potentially life-threatening incident during a burglary at his Mumbai residence. While intervening in a scuffle between the intruder and his domestic staff, Khan sustained multiple stab wounds, including one perilously close to his spine.
Medical Intervention
Khan was promptly transported to Lilavati Hospital, where surgeons performed emergency procedures to remove a 2.5-inch knife fragment lodged in his thoracic spinal cord and repair leaking spinal fluid. Medical professionals noted that if the knife had penetrated just 2 millimeters deeper, it could have resulted in permanent paralysis or even fatality.
Current Status
Following the successful surgery, Khan is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. The incident has raised concerns about residential security, prompting discussions on the safety measures in place for high-profile individuals.
