If Knife Was 2 mm Deeper…”: Doctors Say Saif Ali Khan Out Of ICU

Mumbai:

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is out of the ICU (intensive care unit) and is recovering well, doctors who treated him after he was stabbed 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. A 2.5-inch piece of the blade was removed from his spine after a five-hour-long surgery.

“Saif Ali Khan is doing excellent. We made him walk and he can walk well. There is no problem and not much pain,” 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. The visitors’ movement has been restricted for almost a week due to the injury in his spine. It has a potential chance for spreading infection,” he said.
