Earlier this year, actor Saif Ali Khan faced a terrifying home invasion that left him injured while protecting his children, Taimur (8) and Jeh (4). In a candid conversation with Esquire India, Saif opened up about the incident and the reflections it sparked in him.
Saif Ali Khan calls “walking away relatively unscathed” from stabbing incident “miraculous”: “It was damn close”
Recalling the harrowing night, Saif said, “There’s this crazy sense of how lucky one is because [the knife attack] was damn close. And to walk away relatively unscathed is nothing short of miraculous.” He shared that as he lay on the floor, wounded, his life flashed before his eyes. The attack occurred after an intruder entered his home via Jeh’s bedroom, and Saif, along with the family’s nanny, tried to fend off the assailant. A piece of the intruder’s weapon lodged in his back, and he later underwent emergency surgery after being rushed to the hospital.
Saif reflected on the moments during and after the attack, acknowledging the adrenaline that kept him going and the gratitude he felt for his life. “I remember thinking life has been colourful and I’ve been privileged to be in many places… not just in terms of money—so many people have much more money—but when I think of that rarefied atmosphere of Winchester, of all my travels with loved ones, the wine, my wife, my children…” he said, offering a glimpse into what kept him grounded amidst the chaos.
When asked about the qualities he hopes to instill in his children, Saif highlighted “calmness, patience, discipline, balance,” adding, “You have to work quite hard for everything to be in its right place.”
