Kunal recalls Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident

Kunal Kemmu spoke about the recent attack on Saif Ali Khan.

Kunal recalled how he was informed about the episode with a call at 6 am and what a peculiar experience it was for him to break it to his wife-actor Soha Ali Khan while they were getting their daughter Innaya Naumi Kemmu ready for school.

He said, "You know, honestly, the first thing was, is he (Saif Ali Khan) okay? And once we knew that he was okay and he was out of danger, none of the chatter made any sense again because that's the only thing that mattered."

Kunal on breaking news to Soha

"I woke up to a call at like about 6, and there was no information...It's very weird how fear works. I had to break this to her. We were getting our daughter ready to go to school and you just had this information and nothing else. So to kind of how to put this across, am I supposed to send my daughter to school right now or not? All of those things were kind of playing on my mind. So we did send her to school, and then I said we need to go there, and that's when slowly we started to find out what had kind of transpired," the actor added.

Kunal talks about Saif

Last month, Saif was attacked by an intruder, later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, who allegedly entered his home intending to commit theft. During a violent confrontation, Saif sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine and other parts of his body.

The actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital for immediate treatment. Saif was discharged from Lilavati Hospital after undergoing surgery on January 21. Upon returning to his Bandra residence, he briefly greeted the media.
