Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, recovering from a knife attack, is expected to remain in the hospital under observation for another day. Doctors have decided to keep him under medical supervision, with a likely discharge on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The attack occurred early Thursday morning when a burglar broke into Saif’s Bandra home. The intruder initially confronted the family’s house help before Saif intervened. The actor, attempting to protect the staff, sustained six stab wounds, two of which are serious as they are near his spine.

The incident happened around 2:15 am when Saif heard a disturbance in his younger son Jeh’s room. Rushing to investigate, he found the burglar in an altercation with the house help and tried to stop the attack barehanded.

Mumbai Police quickly arrested the suspect, identified as Mohammed Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national who had illegally entered India. Shehzad, a former national-level wrestler in Bangladesh, claimed he did not know Saif’s identity at the time of the break-in.

Shehzad is currently in police custody after being presented at Bandra Court on Sunday. A rickshaw driver, who unknowingly transported Saif to the hospital after the attack, also stated that he was unaware of Saif’s celebrity status. Saif’s elder son, Taimur, accompanied him to the police station.

At the time of the incident, Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and other family members were at home and asleep.
