Sara Ali Khan Opens Up On Dad Saif Ali Khan's Stabbing Incident: 'It Could Have Gone So Wrong'
When asked if the traumatic episode brought the family closer, Sara said her bond with her father has always been strong.
Bollywood star Sara Ali Khan recently opened up about the harrowing knife attack on her father, Saif Ali Khan, expressing gratitude that the incident didn’t take a worse turn. Saif, 54, was stabbed six times at his Bandra residence in the early hours of January 16. The attacker was apprehended, and Saif was immediately rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent surgeries. The actor was discharged on January 21.
During her appearance on NDTV Yuva, Sara reflected on how the shocking incident gave her a fresh perspective on life. “It could have gone so wrong… and I am so grateful that everything is fine. It was almost a reminder of the life we have. We all talk about practicing mental health. Being grateful for your life is so important. And moments like that make you realise it," she shared.

When asked if the traumatic episode brought the family closer, Sara said her bond with her father has always been strong. “It’s about making you realise how transient the things that you chase are. It didn’t make me realise I love my father, I have known that for 29 years. It made me realise life can change overnight. So every second of every day deserves mindful celebration. It made me realise the importance of just being," she added.
Sara also spoke about how the incident reinforced the value of appreciating life’s small joys. “It takes COVID to realise the importance of being at home with your family, or it takes somebody being almost attacked for you to be like, ‘okay, life matters.’ Life does matter. The small joys do matter. Celebrate every day that you are alive. That is what life is about," she said.
On the work front, Sara was last seen in Sky Force alongside Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, and Nimrat Kaur. She is now gearing up to star in Anurag Basu’s upcoming film, Metro… In Dino.
