Taimur asked Saif Ali Khan 'are you going to die' minutes after attack; actor reveals why he accompanied him to hospital

In his first interview since the attack on him, actor Saif Ali Khan has attempted to put to rest the conspiracy theories and answer several questions.

Saif Ali Khan has broken his silence on the attack he faced at his house last month. Saif was attacked by an intruder at his Mumbai home on January 16 and suffered six knife wounds. The actor was hospitalised, needed surgeries, but has now resumed work. In his first interview since the ordeal, Saif told Delhi Times his son Taimur's first reaction to the attack. (

Saif recalled that after he suffered wounds while battling the attacker, his kurta was covered in blood. The family, including Saif's wife Kareena and sons Taimur and Jeh, went downstairs and tried to look for an auto or a cab to get to the hospital. "I said, I kind of feel some pain. There’s something wrong with my back. She said – you go to the hospital and I’ll go to my sister’s house. She was making calls frantically – but nobody was up. And we looked at each other, and I said, ‘I’m fine. I’m not going to die.’ And Taimur also asked me – ‘Are you going to die?’ I said, ‘No.’"

Saif eventually spent five days at the Lilavati Hospital. The actor underwent two surgeries on the day of the attack itself. The doctors treating him said that he had received six wounds, including two deep ones. Saif was discharged from the hospital on January 21. Earlier this month, he made his first public appearance since the attack when he appeared at a Netflix India event. With his neck bandaged and hand in a cast, Saif promoted his upcoming Netflix film - Jewel Thief.
