Police told BBC Marathi that the actor was injured during a struggle with an unknown man who entered his home after midnight.
Investigations are ongoing with teams assigned to look into the incident which has sparked concern among Saif Ali Khan’s fans.
The actor’s team released a statement saying, “Khan has come out of surgery and is out of danger. He is currently in recovery and the doctors are monitoring his progress.”
Dr. Nitin Dange, who treated Khan at Lilavati Hospital, explained that the actor “sustained a major injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a lodged knife in the spine”.
“A surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair leaking spinal fluid. Two other deep wounds on his left hand and one other on his neck were repaired by the plastic surgery team,” he said.

Khan’s team described the event as an “attempted burglary” but did not provide further information. They requested that the media and fans respect their privacy, as it is now a police matter.
