Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has finally addressed all the conspiracy theories surrounding the knife attack he endured last month. In his first interview since the stabbing incident that occurred on January 16, the actor spoke to Bombay Times, where he revealed what all happened that night and answered the internet’s most asked questions.
Saif responded to people’s surprise at his quick recovery after the fatal stabbing incident. The star was discharged from the Lilavati Hospital five days after undergoing two surgeries and was seen in a fit shape, which led many to question the nature of the attack and his recovery. He also attended an event weeks later to promote his upcoming film, fueling the controversy.
The actor stated, “I think it is expected that there will be all kinds of reactions to something like this. There will be people ridiculing it. There will be people not believing it, people making fun of it. And I think that’s fine because it is what gives colour to the world. If everyone had a sympathetic reaction to something, it would be flat and dull. And I expected it, then there is no need to react to it.”
He further continued, “And the thing that became clear to me is that there is so much kindness also in the world. There’s so many wonderful people who know how to make you feel better by saying supportive things. From the ward boys and the doctors to the rickshaw driver, they were all just angels, heaven-sent. There is a lot of kindness in the world and a fair amount of stupidity also. But that’s what makes it interesting.”
