What happened to Kareena Kapoor’s family in 2025
Behind Kareena’s words lies an incident that shook the entire family. In January 2025, Saif Ali Khan was attacked by a burglar inside their own home.
The incident happened late at night while the family was asleep. The attacker entered their younger son Jeh’s room, carrying a knife and demanding money.
Saif was stabbed multiple times and suffered serious injuries including a spinal injury. He was hospitalised for nearly 10 days and underwent intense treatment and recovery.
Appearing on the talk show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, hosted by Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, Saif opened up about the incident for the first time.
He recalled that it was around 2 am. Kareena had just returned home, they had spoken briefly, and everyone had gone to sleep. Suddenly, their maid rushed in, panicked, saying there was a stranger in Jeh’s room asking for money.
Without thinking, Saif ran into the dark room. What he saw still sends chills down the spine: a man standing over his child’s bed with a knife.
The attacker had already injured Jeh slightly on his hand and hurt the nanny. As the man tried to escape, Saif jumped on him, believing he could stop him.
Saif admitted that his reaction may not have been the safest, but in that moment, instinct took over. The attacker had two knives and began slashing wildly.
Saif tried to defend himself, remembering bits of his training, blocking blows where he could. But soon, he felt a heavy удар in his back.
“He had cut me everywhere. My neck and my back. And there was blood everywhere,” Saif said during the show.
The most heartbreaking moment came when his elder son, Taimur, saw him bleeding. The child feared his father might die.
Saif remembered looking at Taimur and calmly reassuring him, even while injured. “I told him I am fine. I am not going to die,” he said.
