She further mentioned, "I urge all my friends and colleagues to be very very cautious when we let in any workers into our home ... be it painters, plumbers, electricians or new home staff . AADHAR CARD, Photo taken before they enter the home is very important. Saif has been a CINTAA member for a very long time and as CINTAA PRESIDENT, I seriously condemn such horrific acts that endanger us and our family. We are confident that our most efficient police force will soon nab the culprit. I wish Saif a very speedy recovery."
Saif was stabbed multiple times in an attempt to fight off a burglar during the wee hours of Thursday. The actor sustained six stab wounds, two of which are said to be serious as they are closer to his spine. The incident took place at 2:15 a.m. when the burglar allegedly barged into their Bandra home, and attacked their house help and then Saif when he intervened.
Saif was woken up by the commotion in his son Jeh's room. He went inside the room to see the culprit arguing with their house help, looking at this, Saif intervened to save the house help with bare hands to fight off the intruder.
