Kareena Kapoor shared a fresh statement and requested the media to provide her family with the space they need to heal after a harrowing incident in which her actor-husband Saif Ali Khan was attacked by an intruder at their Bandra home.
The statement read, "It has been an incredibly challenging day for our family, and we are still trying to process the events that have unfolded. As we navigate this difficult time, I respectfully and humbly request that the media and paparazzi refrain from the relentless speculation and coverage."
Kareena added, "While we appreciate the concern and support, the constant scrutiny and attention are not only overwhelming but also pose a significant risk to our safety. I kindly request that you respect our boundaries and give us the space we need to heal and cope as a family."
"I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation during this sensitive time," she concluded.
The disturbing incident occurred late Wednesday night when an intruder repeatedly stabbed Saif. The actor sustained six stab wounds, including one to his neck and was rushed to Lilavati Hospital with the knife still lodged in his spine.
Following emergency surgery, Saif's team shared a statement and shared that he was out of danger. Doctors confirmed that he is on the road to recovery and that a 2.5-inch piece of the blade was successfully removed from his spine. The severity of his injuries included two minor, two intermediate and two deep stab wounds, with one injury located near his spine.
