Saif Ali Khan makes first public appearance after knife attack

Tuesday, 04 Feb, 2025

Actor Saif Ali Khan made his first official public appearance this week after the knife attack last month. The actor was joined by director Siddharth Anand and actor Jaideep Ahlawat - the team of his upcoming film, 'Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins'. Dressed in a pair of blue denim, styled with a denim shirt, the actor stayed away from discussing the attack or the injury. He appeared at the event with a black cast on his left hand and a bandage on his neck.

He began by expressing his happiness about attending the event. "It feels very nice standing here in front of you. I am very excited about this movie. Siddharth and I have been talking about his film for a long time. I have always wanted to do a heist film. I couldn't have asked for a better co-star."

The 54-year-old was attacked last month by an intruder at his Mumbai residence. He suffered multiple injuries to his neck, back and arm after getting stabbed around six times with a knife. The actor took an auto to the hospital while his eight-year-old son, Taimur Ali Khan, accompanied him.

In 'Jewel Thief', the actor plays the role of a stylish conman who is hired by a 'powerful criminal lord' to steal 'the world's most elusive diamond' - The African Red Sun.
