According to ANI, the shocking incident occurred at Saif Ali Khan's residence in the âSatguru Sharan' building in Bandra. An intruder reportedly entered the premises and confronted the actor's maid.

Doctors identified a foreign object near the spine during treatment.
Dr Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Lilavati Hospital, revealed that Saif was brought to the hospital at 3 am on Thursday. "He suffered six stab wounds, two of them deep, but he is stable and recovering," he said.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police have launched an investigation into the incident. Dixit Gedam, DCP Zone 9, stated, "The investigation is underway. Details cannot be disclosed at this time."
