Saif Ali Khan on his takeaway from stabbing incident
Speaking about what he learned from the stabbing incident, Saif said, “My takeaway is that you must lock doors and be careful. We have a lot, and a lot do not. So while I am grateful, we must understand that and be careful. Lock things. Block access points. And smarten up security.”
He continued, expressing how he dislikes being surrounded by people, “It’s sad. I never believed in security. Hate to have people around me, but it needs to be there, for a while at least, I guess. It wasn’t my time to go. Maybe I’m meant to do a few more good films… have some more nice times with family and friends. Do some more charity!”
