In a shocking incident early Thursday, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed multiple times at his Bandra residence. The actor, critically injured, was rushed to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital by auto-rickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana, whose quick actions ensured Khan received immediate medical attention.
In an exclusive interview with NewsX, Rana described the alarming situation. “A lady called for a rickshaw from the gate. I didn’t know it was Saif Ali Khan; I just saw him bleeding heavily. They asked me to take him to the hospital, and I drove as fast as I could,” Rana recalled. Khan, along with his child and an acquaintance, made their way to the rickshaw. Upon arrival at the hospital, Khan introduced himself as Saif Ali Khan and alerted staff to his injuries. Rana, realizing who he was only after the stretcher arrived, quietly left without accepting payment.
Rana later shared with other sources that Khan, despite being gravely injured, walked towards the rickshaw on his own. Once inside, his first question was, “Kitna time lagega?” (How long will it take to reach the hospital?). The driver reached Lilavati Hospital in 8-10 minutes, with Khan’s kurta soaked in blood.
Doctors at Lilavati have confirmed that Saif Ali Khan is responding well to treatment and is expected to be discharged in 2–3 days. Dr. Nitin Dange, a neurosurgeon, explained that although Khan had injuries near his spinal cord, no permanent damage was done. The actor’s condition is stable, and he is recovering well.
