Earlier this year in January, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan faced an unexpected situation at their Mumbai residence, which is probably any parents’ biggest nightmare. The star couple found an intruder in their 4-year-old son Jehangir Ali Khan aka Jeh’s bedroom. Like a real life hero, Saif came between his family and the intruder to save his loved ones.
