Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 18 : Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is recovering after undergoing surgery for injuries sustained during an attack at his Bandra home early Thursday morning.
The incident, which left the actor with stab wounds to his thoracic spine, occurred when an intruder allegedly confronted the actor's maid.
Saif, attempting to intervene, was attacked, leading to a violent confrontation. The actor was immediately taken to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital for treatment after he sustained major injuries.
On Saturday, his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, was seen arriving at Lilavati Hospital to check on her husband's condition.
Dressed in a grey T-shirt, black sunglasses, and blue denim jeans, Kareena was escorted by security as she entered the premises.

Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, Saif's mother, also visited the hospital on Friday to check on her son's progress following the surgery. Doctors revealed that Saif sustained significant injury to his spinal cord due to a knife lodged in his spine.
