Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was discharged from Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday, five days after surviving a brutal knife attack at his Bandra residence. The 54-year-old actor sustained multiple stab injuries, including wounds to his hand, neck, and spine, during the early hours of January 16. Following an emergency surgery, doctors confirmed his condition had stabilized, paving the way for his discharge. Security at Khan’s residence has since been tightened, and investigations into the attack are ongoing.

The shocking incident has sent ripples through the film industry, with several celebrities rallying to support the actor. Reports suggest that the attacker, an intruder, broke into Khan’s house and launched the assault before being apprehended. Mumbai Police have detained a suspect and are scrutinizing CCTV footage from the area to piece together the sequence of events. The attacker was caught on camera purchasing headphones shortly after the crime, raising questions about the motive behind the assault. Saif’s family, including his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and sons Taimur and Jeh, visited him frequently during his hospital stay.

Fans and colleagues have taken to social media to express their relief over Saif’s recovery and condemn the act of violence. Many Bollywood figures, including Sanjay Dutt, visited him in the hospital, showing solidarity during this challenging time. Khan’s representatives have thanked well-wishers for their prayers and assured that the actor is now focused on his recovery. This incident has highlighted the growing concerns about celebrity safety and the need for heightened security measures to protect public figures from such attacks.
