Actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his residence on January 16, reportedly the actor got stabbed multiple times. After the attack, there have been several conspiracy theories about who took the actor to Lilavati Hospital, how he recovered so fast, and much more. In his first interview since the stabbing incident with the Delhi Times, the actor gave answers to the internet’s most-asked questions.
Actor Saif Ali Khan finally addressed and debunked all the conspiracy theories about the attack on him
It was reported that Saif was taken to the Lilavati hospital in an auto rickshaw. So, people raised questioned about an absent driver who could have driven him to the hospital in his car. Saif addressed the question saying,

“Nobody stays here all night. Everyone has a home to go to. We have some people staying in the house, but not the drivers. Unless you are going out at night or there’s something needed, then you tell them to stay on. I would have driven if I could have found the keys. Luckily, I didn’t. I probably should not have wiggled my back much. I’d have driven. I was completely lucid”
He added that the driver would have taken time to reach, and the auto was a faster option.

Fans were also surprised that the actor recovered so quickly as some videos on social media showed the actor walking with ease to his house after getting released from the hospital. Saif was released just five days after his admission to the hospital after undergoing two surgeries. Two weeks later, he was even fit enough to attend an event to promote his next film.

“I think it is expected that there will be all kinds of reactions to something like this. There will be people ridiculing it. There will be people not believing it, people making fun of it. And I think that’s fine because it is what gives colour to the world. If everyone had a sympathetic reaction to something, it would be flat and dull. And I expected it, then there is no need to react to it.”
Saif also addressed the matter of being admitted to the hospital 1.5 hours after the attack. He discussed the matter by denying that there was such a lag. He said that he ‘went downstairs and out’ immediately after the attack.
When asked if there were any weapons in the house, Saif revealed that all weapons in his Bandra home are decorative, and he does not like keeping guns in the house.
