The actor sharing details about the incident said that he feels the attack was not ‘premeditated.’ In his first interview after the attack, the actor, while speaking to Delhi Times, said that he thinks it was a ‘burglary attempt gone wrong.’ He sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine while attempting to intervene during a confrontation. A piece of knife was taken out of the actor’s body after surgery.

During a conversation with the Delhi Times, Saif spoke about the incident and said he doesn’t plan to keep any weapons for added security in his Mumbai residence. He said, “Nothing will change. See, if you start doing that… because I don’t feel I’m under threat. It was not a premeditated attack. I think it just was a burglary attempt gone wrong. That poor guy, his life is more screwed than mine.”

He added if he would’ve done anything differently in that situation, he said, “I would put on the light and firstly tell him, ‘Do you know who I am?’ And I think he would say, ‘Oh s**t! I’m in the wrong house.’ And I’d say, ‘Right, put the knife down and let’s talk about this.’ I think I would have tried to reason. But it was a mixture of anger, outrage and a kind of defence. It was just too quick. And it was completely instinctive.”
