Saif Ali Khan nearly escaped death as he was attacked by a burglar who entered his house in January this year. The intruder had asked for money by keeping a knife on Jeh and now in a recent interview, Saif has said that even Jeh was cut by the knife. The actor appeared on Twinkle Khanna, Kajol’s talk show ‘Two Much’. He was accompanied by Akshay Kumar. While opening up on the incident, Saif revealed, “Kareena had been out, and I had just finished watching a movie with the boys (Taimur and Jeh). So, we went to sleep quite late, around two in the morning. After Kareena returned, we had a small chat before we turned in. Then, the maid came in and she said, ‘Jeh baba ke kamre mein koi hai. Uske haath mein chaaku hai aur bol rahe hai usko paisa chahiye (There’s someone in Jeh’s room. He has a knife in his hand, and he says he wants money).'”He added, “I kind of heard that and rolled out of bed. I barged into Jeh’s room in the dark, and I saw this guy standing over his bed with a knife.” Akshay Kumar asked if the intruder was pointing his knife at Jeh, Saif revealed that since the man was moving around too much, both Jeh and his nanny had cut marks. Saif added, “I thought he was smaller than me, which means he’s not very large. And I jumped on him. Jeh later told me, ‘It was a big mistake. You should have punched or kicked him instead.’ But I jumped and we started this fight. He went mad. He had two knives, and he started slashing all over me.”Saif said that Jeh’s nanny Geeta saved his life that night. “I tried to remember my training and blocked a couple of them. But then I felt a thump in my back that was really hard. By then, everyone was out of their rooms. Geeta, our domestic help, aided me in this struggle and pushed the guy off me. She saved my life at that point because he had cut me everywhere. Then we locked him in a room.”The actor said that they thought they had locked him in the room, however, he ran off by then from the way he had had entered the building. That’s when Saif said, he decided to rush to the hospital in the auto and Kareena went to Karisma Kapoor‘s house with the children so that they are safe. However, Taimur insisted that he goes to the hospital with his father. “I was also feeling at peace looking at Tim,” said Saif. Saif underwent a surgery and recuperated for a few days. He’s now fine. As Kajol heard the whole story, she got emotional and went and hugged the actor.
