When the assailant attempted to harm his kid, Jeh, Saif clashed with him and was stabbed. As a result, the actor was hurried to the hospital and had surgery after suffering six serious injuries. The knife, which had become stuck close to Saif’s spinal cord, was removed during the surgery.
Soon, the story grabbed headlines and everything about the incident went viral on social media. However, many netizens claimed that there was something wrong with Saif Ali Khan’s story. A Reddit post has now emerged suggesting that Saif and his family’s story may not be as simple as it first appears.

The fishy tale about Saif Ali Khan.
Have a look at the thread:
Redditor questioned security at Saif Ali Khan’s home
The Redditor started his thread by highlighting a number of discrepancies in the official story of the attack. He raised concerns about how Saif’s posh home could have such a low level of security, with guards reportedly sleeping and security cameras not working.
They find it difficult to accept the extremely unlikely claim that the intruder entered through an air conditioning vent. Additionally, they wonder why Saif allegedly had to face the attacker alone when none of the four male employees who were there at the time interfered.

The Redditor further raises questions about the attacker’s physical prowess by characterizing the victim as “frail and weak.” They said they did not believe someone like that could control the actor and stab him six times.
Redditor further questioned Kareena’s actions
There has also been criticism of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s handling of the matter. The thread claims that instead of going to the hospital with Saif following the alleged stabbing, she argued with domestic staff before heading to her sister’s house. This particular detail has stoked online speculation over the incident’s dynamics.
How can Saif recover miraculously?
Another point of contention centers around Saif’s recovery. The actor reportedly left the hospital soon after, looking well-groomed with his hair slicked back and his clothes snug, despite allegations of several stab wounds and a six-hour surgery.

There was also criticism of a doctor’s theatrical portrayal of Saif’s courage, comparing him to a lion entering and leaving the hospital. Skeptics found it difficult to accept that Saif recovered so quickly from a serious attack.
Apart from this, contention over who comes to the hospital with Saif also raised doubts. While some sources claimed that it was Ibrahim who carried the injured Saif on an auto-rickshaw, others said Saif came to the hospital with Taimur.

The Redditor also poses doubts on the attackers’ identity
Doubts extend to the identity of the alleged attacker. According to the Reddit post, the individual arrested did not resemble the person seen in webcam footage. They claimed that there were no bloodstains on the attacker after the attack.
The intruder’s father reportedly denied that his son was a wrestler or the individual shown in the recordings. These claims added another layer of uncertainty to the narrative.

In a scathing review of the purported story, the Redditor urged the Khan family to resolve the discrepancies at the end of their post. They stressed the need for responsibility if the story was made up and accused them of causing needless fear in Mumbai.
How did people react to the allegations?
There has been a lot of internet discussion over the thread, with many people sharing the Redditor’s doubts. As Mumbai locals and Bollywood fans wait for more information, the incident has drawn attention and raised concerns. Here are some of the responses:
