Rakhi Sawant has expressed her shock and concern over the recent attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, which occurred at his Bandra residence in the early hours of Thursday. The incident has sparked a conversation about the adequacy of security measures in high-profile residential buildings.
In a video circulating online, a visibly distressed Rakhi shared her thoughts on the matter. She recalled her past association with Saif, stating, “Oh my God! Such bad news. Saif Ali Khan, with whom I have also worked before, in a song during Rakesh Roshan ji’s film at the very beginning of my struggling days. I could never have imagined, even in my dreams, that such a big tragedy could happen to Saifu.”
Rakhi questioned the security arrangements in Saif’s building, saying, “Yeh building wale kya karte hain? Aap itna monthly paisa lete ho, aur CCTV camera bhi nahi laga sakte? Kitni buri khabar hai yeh. 2025 mein kya ho raha hai? Itne diggaj logon ke saath kya ho raha hai? (What do the people in this building do? You charge such a high monthly fee, and yet you can’t even install CCTV cameras? This is such terrible news. What is happening in 2025? What is happening to such great individuals?)”
The incident reportedly took place at around 2:30 am when an intruder entered Saif’s 11th-floor flat and confronted the actor’s maid. As Saif tried to intervene, the situation escalated into violence, and the actor sustained multiple stab wounds.
Saif was immediately rushed to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, where he underwent emergency surgery. Doctors revealed that the actor suffered a significant injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a 2.5-inch-long knife lodged in his spine. Surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair the leaking spinal fluid.
According to the medical team, Saif is now “out of danger” but remains under close observation.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of high-profile individuals and highlighted the need for stricter security measures in residential buildings.
