Doctors Say Saif Ali Khan Out Of ICU

Mumbai:

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is “recovering well”, doctors who treated him after he was stabbed six times by an intruder at his Mumbai residence have said.

Mr Khan was stabbed six times, including in his neck, at his apartment in the posh Bandra West neighbourhood around 2:30 am on Thursday.

Mr Khan “walked in like a lion” and was accompanied by his son Taimur, Dr Nitin Narayan Dange of the city’s Lilawati Hospital said in a media briefing today.

“We have shifted him from the ICU to a special room. His movements are restricted due to the injury in the spine. It has a potential charge of infection which is why we have restricted the visitors’ movement,” he said.

“We also made him walk today… Bed rest is needed. There is no risk of paralysis,” he added.

“If a knife was 2 mm deeper, he would have sustained a serious injury,” another doctor said.
