Saif Ali Khan attacked: 'Incredibly challenging day, still trying to process...', says Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan on Thursday took to Instagram to speak about the knife attack on husband-actor Saif Ali Khan. In her statement she acknowledged that the day had been ‘incredibly challenging’ for her family and they were still trying to process how the events unfolded. Through her social media post she also requested the media to refrain from relentless speculation and coverage. 

“It has been an incredibly challenging day for our family, and we are still trying to process the events that have unfolded. As we navigate this difficult time, I respectfully and humbly request that the media and paparazzi refrain from the relentless speculation and coverage,” Kapoor said. 

She said that the constant scrutiny of the stabbing incident has overwhelmed them and posed a significant risk to the safety of the family and urged that the personal boundaries be respected. 

“While we appreciate the concern and support, the constant scrutiny and attention are not only overwhelming but also pose a significant risk to our safety. I kindly request that you respect our boundaries and give us the space we need to heal and cope as a family. I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation during this sensitive time,” the actor wrote.
