The unexpected January 2025 stabbing of actor Saif Ali Khan left fans and the industry in shock. It was a terrifying experience for Saif and his family, raising critical concerns regarding celebrity security.
Actor Ronit Roy, whose professional security agency is hired by several celebrities, was called in to enhance security arrangements for the Khan family in the aftermath of the attack.
In a heartfelt chat with Hindi Rush, Ronit Roy spilled the beans about what happened after Saif's release from the hospital. He divulged that Kareena Kapoor Khan went through a scary situation when her car was surrounded by a crowd outside their residence.
Saif was returning from the hospital, and there were media persons and people waiting in large numbers. When Kareena was going home, her car was surrounded and mildly attacked. She was actually frightened," Ronit informed.
Ronit called the atmosphere chaotic, with too much media presence and curious onlookers crowding too near. The car that had Kareena was said to have been shaken, further compounding the woes of an already stressful situation.
He said, "That is when she requested that I personally bring Saif back home. I went to fetch him, and by the time we reached, our team had already put in place additional security. The police also gave great support. Now everything is fine."
Saif's Home Was Short of Security, According to Ronit Roy
While performing the initial inspection (recce) of Saif's Bandra home, Ronit mentioned that he found that the house was devoid of essential security infrastructure. He recommended upgrades at once to secure the family in the future.
The act that prompted the security overhaul came on the morning of January 16, when an intruder had entered the house through the room of Saif and Kareena's youngest son Jeh. While Saif fought the intruder for defending his family, he received several stab wounds in the scuffle.
He was rushed to the hospital and treated promptly by doctors. Thankfully, Saif recovered well and returned home within days, where he carried on with his recovery under the care of his family and a freshly bolstered security detail.
