Lilavati Hospital officials revealed that Khan’s injuries could have been life-threatening if the stab had penetrated just 2 mm deeper. Despite being covered in blood, the 54-year-old actor displayed remarkable composure and walked into the hospital unaided. Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer of Lilavati Hospital, praised Khan’s bravery, calling him a “real hero.”

Khan underwent extensive surgery performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange to remove the knife and repair the leaking spinal fluid caused by the injury. Dr. Dange confirmed that the actor is stable, recovering well, and out of danger.

In addition to the spine injury, Khan sustained two other deep wounds: one on his left wrist and another on the right side of his neck. These were addressed by the hospital’s plastic surgery team, led by Dr. Leena Jain.

On Friday, Khan was shifted from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to a special room at Lilavati Hospital. Doctors have restricted visitors to ensure his rest and minimize the risk of infection, particularly in the knife-inflicted wound on his back.

The incident occurred while Khan, his wife Kareena Kapoor, their sons Jeh and Taimur, and five domestic staff members were at home in their 12th-floor apartment. The attacker first confronted Jeh’s nanny, Eliyama Philip, demanding ₹1 crore. Both Philip and a domestic help also sustained injuries during the attack.

Philip, the complainant in the police report, recounted her harrowing encounter with the intruder. The police are continuing their investigation into the motive and circumstances of the attack.

The shocking incident has left Bollywood and fans in disbelief, with many expressing relief over Khan’s stable condition and applauding his resilience during such a traumatic event.
