Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: Sister Saba Pataudi Performs 'Sadqa' For 'Bhai And Family'

It has been 22 days since the shocking incident of January 16, 2025, when Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan was brutally attacked by an intruder at his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai. During the wee hours, an intruder broke into his residence through his youngest son Jeh's room. In a shocking turn of events, Saif sustained six stab wounds from the assailant’s knife when he confronted them. The actor even had to undergo emergency surgeries to remove a 2.5-inch long piece of knife which was lodged dangerously close to his spine. Despite the injuries, Saif showed immense resilience throughout the ordeal and is recovering well.

While Saif has been recovering at a steady pace, the trauma of that horrifying night is still raw in the minds of his family and close relatives. In the wake of the stabbing incident, Saif’s sister, Saba Pataudi, resorted to her faith for the family’s protection. She recently performed Qur'an Khwani and Sadqa for the well-being of her brother, sister-in-law (whom she calls ‘bhabs’), Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their children, Taimur and Jeh. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Saba shared a glimpse of the ritual with a caption that read:

In light of the incident, on January 16, 2025, Saba Pataudi took to her Instagram to express that their late father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, would be proud of him. Saba’s message read:

“I am in shock and reeling from this insane incident. But proud of you Bhaijaan. Taking care of the family and standing tall would make Abba so proud. I am. get well soon. Missing being there. Will see you soon. Duas N prayers always. I love you.”
