ALBAWABA - Famous Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan recently made headlines after undergoing surgery on Thursday, due to getting stabbed six times by an intruder who tried to enter his home in India's capital city, Mumbai, as reported by the BBC. 

The man entered Khan's home where his family also resides at midnight leading to a quarrel between both individuals. While Saif Ali Khan's family didn't disclose information about the incident, his team announced that it was due to attempted burglary.

On the contrary, Khan's team made a statement that was shared across social media platforms asking fans to respect the star's privacy.

The statement adds, "We request the media and fans to be patient. It is a police matter. We will keep you updated on the situation."

The doctor operating on Khan in Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital told BBC that out of the six stabs Saif Ali Khan received, two were deep, with one being close to the spine. 

Filmfare added on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter), that the star was helping his family climb down the stairs before getting attacked to put himself in the middle of danger and protect them. 

By the time of writing this article, Khan is reportedly out of danger. While local police are still investigating the issue at hand, they refused to disclose information to the public and the number of intruders remains unknown.
