‘Are you going to die?’: Saif Ali Khan reveals son Taimur’s reaction after stabbing incident

Actor Saif Ali Khan recently opened up about the chilling stabbing incident during an attempted burglary at his Bandra residence that left him with multiple wounds. In his first interview after the incident, the actor also revealed his son Taimur asked him if he 'was going to die'.

Recalling the horrifying incident in an interview with Bombay Times, Saif described how his sons Taimur, Jeh, and wife Kareena rushed downstairs, desperately looking for an auto or cab to take him to the hospital.

He said, "I said, I kind of feel some pain. There’s something wrong with my back. She said – you go to the hospital and I’ll go to my sister’s house. She was making calls frantically – but nobody was up. And we looked at each other, and I said, ‘I’m fine. I’m not going to die.’ And Taimur also asked me – ‘Are you going to die?’ I said, ‘No.’"

Explaining why his 8-year-old son Taimur accompanied him to the hospital, Saif said, "He was absolutely composed. He was fine. He said, ‘I’m coming with you.’ And I thought, if something happens, I was getting a lot of comfort just from looking at him at that time. And I didn’t want to go alone."

He continued, "My wife sent him knowing what he would do for me. Maybe it wasn’t at the moment, it was the right thing to do. I felt good about it. And I also thought, if God forbid, something happens, I’d like for him to be there. And he wanted to be there also. So, we went – him, me and Hari – in the rickshaw."
