Saif Ali Khan’s first interview since home invasion: What he revealed amid controversy & conspiracy theories

Saif Ali Khan opens up about the harrowing night he fought off an armed intruder in his Mumbai home

Saif Ali Khan’s first interview since home invasion: What he revealed amid controversy & conspiracy theories

In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan found himself in a real-life thriller when an armed intruder broke into his Mumbai residence in the dead of night. What was supposed to be just another peaceful evening in the Khan household turned into a night of horror, leaving Saif with multiple injuries and raising serious questions about celebrity security in India.

It all began when Saif, in his kurta-pyjama, heard unusual noises near his son Jeh’s room. What followed was a violent struggle with an intruder armed with two knives. “I didn’t realise it was a knife at first,” Saif recalled. “There was too much adrenaline. He was slashing at my neck, and I was blocking it with my hands. My palms, wrists, and arms were cut, but I didn’t feel the pain immediately.”

Speaking to Times of India, the actor shared how his quick reflexes and the sharp presence of mind of his househelp, Geeta, saved the day. “I was praying someone would get him off me,” Saif admitted. “Geeta was incredible. She shoved him away, and we managed to close the door.”

Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan sprang into action, ensuring their children, Taimur and Jeh, were safe. “Kareena was shouting, ‘Take the kid out!’” Saif shared. “She got Jeh out of harm’s way while I was still grappling with the intruder.”

What makes this story even more astonishing is the extent of Saif’s injuries. A knife had penetrated his back, nicking his spinal cord and causing spinal fluid to leak. “The doctors said it was a millimetre away from paralysis,” Saif revealed. “It’s a miracle I can walk.”

Despite the severity of his wounds, Saif remained remarkably composed. “I told Kareena, ‘I’m fine. I’m not going to die.’ Taimur asked me the same thing, and I reassured him too,” he said. The family’s decision to take an autorickshaw to the hospital made the situation feel all the more unreal. “The rickshaw driver saw the blood but stayed calm. He even took shortcuts to avoid bumps,” Saif recalled with a laugh.

While the physical scars are healing, the emotional impact lingers. Saif’s children have reacted in their own ways. “Jeh gave me a plastic sword and said, ‘Keep this by your bed for the next time the chor comes,’” Saif shared with a chuckle. Taimur, ever the composed one, has shown concern about security but remains unfazed.

As for the intruder, Saif harbours no hatred. “Taimur said he should be forgiven because he might have been hungry,” Saif said. “I understand desperation, but he crossed a line when he tried to kill me.”

Saif’s ordeal has sparked debates about celebrity security and urban safety. Yet, the actor remains unfazed. “I don’t believe in walking around with bodyguards. This wasn’t a targeted attack; it was a burglary gone wrong,” he insisted.

“It’s brought us closer as a family,” he admitted. “Kareena has been incredibly strong, and the kids have shown maturity beyond their years.”

This horrifying incident is more than just a celebrity scare rather, it’s a wake-up call. If someone as high-profile as Saif Ali Khan can be targeted in his own home, what does that say about the safety of the common citizen? The conversation around home security, particularly for public figures, is one that can no longer be ignored.

And if there’s one thing we’ve learnt, it’s this: never underestimate a man in a kurta-pyjama. Especially if his name is Saif Ali Khan!

Squid Game season 3 episode leak shocks fans as finale length disappoints viewers

A recent leak has stirred up mixed reactions among Squid Game fans, revealing a possible episode count for the highly anticipated third season. While excitement for the final chapter of the hit series is palpable, disappointment is brewing over reports that the concluding season may only have six episodes.

According to a recent post on the fan forum Instiz, Squid Game Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back, with a combined total of 13 episodes. Since Season 2, released in December 2024, consisted of seven episodes, this leaves Season 3 with just six episodes to wrap up the intricate storyline. Fans are worried that such a limited number of episodes might not do justice to the narrative, especially considering the complexity of the plot and characters. Some fans are hopeful that Netflix or director Hwang Dong Hyuk might announce additional episodes, but so far, no official confirmation has been given.

On the brighter side, reports about the show’s massive production budget have sparked excitement. Media outlets revealed that Seasons 2 and 3 were produced with a combined budget of ₩100 billion KRW (approximately £54.3 million GBP). This massive budget hints at high-quality production, elaborate sets, and intense action sequences.

Despite the budget news, some fans expressed shock at the cost, with one commenting, “That’s too expensive for just six episodes.” Others, however, remain confident that the show’s global popularity will ensure profitability. “Season 1 was a worldwide hit, so even if Seasons 2 and 3 don’t perform as well, it will still be profitable,” a fan noted.

With just a few months between the release of Season 2 in December 2024 and the arrival of Season 3 in June 2025, the wait feels long for eager fans. Amid the debates over episode count and budget, fans are also speculating about the storyline. Will Seong Gi Hun survive? Could a new winner emerge? Stills from the series have also fuelled theories, showcasing high-tension moments, the return of the enigmatic Front Man, and a potential escape plan by a pink soldier.

As the countdown to Season 3 begins, fans remain divided but undeniably eager to see how this gripping tale will conclude. Whether six episodes will suffice or leave fans wanting more, we'd have to wait and find that out!

Indian police probe influencer Ranveer Allahbadia for sexual joke about reality show contestant's parents

Popular podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, has landed in hot water over a controversial remark he made on India’s Got Latent, a show hosted by comedian Samay Raina. Following backlash online, the Mumbai Police have initiated an enquiry into the matter.

What happened?

During a recent episode of India’s Got Latent, where Ranveer appeared as a guest alongside content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija, he asked a contestant an inappropriate question that quickly sparked outrage. While the panel and audience laughed at the moment, the reaction online was anything but forgiving.

On Monday morning, lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra filed a formal complaint with the Mumbai Police, alleging that the remarks were obscene and offensive. Authorities soon visited the Khar-based Habitat building, where the show was recorded, to investigate the incident. Deputy Commissioner of Police Dikshit Gedam confirmed that an enquiry is underway, though no FIR has been registered yet.

Ed Sheeran’s surprise Bengaluru street gig shut down by police: Viral video sparks online debate

Ed Sheeran’s impromptu street performance on Bengaluru’s buzzing Church Street took an unexpected turn when local police pulled the plug—literally! The British singer, mid-way through Shape of You, was stopped by officers, leaving fans in shock and the internet in stitches.

The viral video showed Sheeran strumming his guitar, drawing a growing crowd, when a policeman stepped in and disconnected his microphone. The pop icon, unfazed, simply smiled and addressed the fans: “We had permission to be here, but this policeman is shutting it down.”

Permission or not?
While Sheeran later reassured fans on Instagram—“We had permission to busk, by the way. This wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though. See you at the show tonight x”—Bengaluru police had a different take.
