More than a year after being stabbed during a break-in at his Bandra home, Saif Ali Khan has opened up about the lasting impact of the incident. In an interview with Bombay Times, the actor admitted that while his family managed to move on from the frightening episode relatively quickly, he continues to deal with certain reminders of that night.
Saif Ali Khan recalls feeling lucky
Saif revealed that something as ordinary as seeing a knife can still trigger a strong reaction. “We have dealt with it remarkably well. I think the person most affected was my wife, who is generally a very sensitive person. We kind of got over it quite quickly. It was insane, though. I am still not 100 per cent over it because if I see a knife, it just makes me react,” he said.
