Saif Ali Khan recalls the night intruder who targeted son Jeh
In a candid chat with Mojo Story, Saif Ali Khan recalled the terrifying events of that night in chilling detail, describing how the situation unfolded when the intruder targeted his son Jeh. “We all processed it differently. It was a crazy thing. This thief broke in the bathroom window, and the next thing we’re lying in bed and this babysitter comes in and tells us there’s someone in Jeh’s room and they’ve got a knife and they’re asking for money. I went into the baby’s room and he was holding the baby, and he had cut the baby a little and he had cut the maid a little. Maybe if I had turned on the lights, and if I had asked him, you know where you are, and you know what you are doing, and I could have made him talk. But something got over me and I jumped on him and we had a fist fight. He went crazy with his knives, and there were cuts and blood everywhere. Just then, my maid came in and threw him across the room.”
Saif Ali Khan on whether he can forgive his attacker
Saif also spoke about the moment he genuinely believed he might not survive the attack after being stabbed. In addition, he pondered the complex question of whether he could forgive the man who had put his life in danger. “I was in a white kurta pajama that was covered in blood and at one point I was lying on the floor, I thought I might die. At that point, I really wanted to be with Taimur and I asked him if he would come with me to the hospital, and he asked me, ‘Are you going to die?’ I told him no and we went to the hospital together. I even wanted to forgive this guy because I think he made a big mistake, and I don’t think he was looking for a fight. I’d be happy to forgive him, but that part where he tried to kill me is something I’m having a hard time letting go of. It’s a matter of haves and have-nots and it’s inequality that has led to this.”
