Bollywood Star Saif Ali Khan Stabbed in Mumbai Home Invasion

On 16, 2025, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, 54, was attacked in his Bandra, Mumbai apartment during a suspected burglary. The intruder, identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a 30-year-old Bangladeshi national, allegedly entered Khan's home with the intent to commit theft.

Khan confronted the intruder after hearing suspicious noises, leading to a physical altercation during which he was stabbed six times, including a deep wound near his spine. A female employee was also injured. Both were rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where Khan underwent emergency surgery. Doctors have reported that he is out of danger and recovering well.

The suspect, who had illegally entered India and assumed the alias Vijay Das, was arrested on January 19 in Thane, on the outskirts of Mumbai. He had been residing in the area for five to six months, working for a housekeeping agency. Initial investigations suggest that the attack was a burglary attempt.

This incident has raised concerns within the Bollywood community regarding security in Mumbai. Khan, a prominent figure in Indian cinema with approximately 70 films to his credit, is the son of former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and actress Sharmila Tagore. He has received multiple awards, including the Padma Shri in 2010.
