Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto rickshaw driver who gained recognition for assisting actor Saif Ali Khan, has shared his experience of meeting the actor and the gratitude expressed by him and his family. As discussions intensify regarding a potential reward for Rana, he has stated that he does not require any monetary compensation.

Rana was the individual who transported Saif to Lilavati Hospital last week following the actor sustaining six injuries from a knife attack at his residence. Saif remained hospitalized for five days, during which he underwent surgery to address leaking spinal fluid and to extract a fragment of the knife located near his spine. The actor was discharged on Monday and subsequently returned home. Prior to his discharge, Rana had the opportunity to meet Saif and his family at the hospital.

Auto driver on getting reward from Saif Ali Khan

In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, the auto driver was inquired whether he would accept a new auto rickshaw if Saif were to gift him one. Rana replied, “I am not asking for it, but if he wishes to give it, I would gladly accept. I have never stated that I deserve anything for my actions, nor am I motivated by greed.”

During an interview with PTI, Rana mentioned that Khan expressed gratitude for his timely assistance and offered him financial support, although the specific amount remains unspecified. "I have made a promise to him (Saif), and I intend to honor it. Let people speculate," Rana asserted when asked about the sum. “Let them claim that he (Saif) gave me ₹50,000 or ₹1,00,000, but I prefer not to disclose the amount. He has asked me to keep this information private, and I will uphold my commitment to him; whatever it is, it remains between us,” Rana stated.

On meeting Sharmila Tagore

Just before the actor's discharge on Tuesday evening, Rana had the opportunity to meet Khan and his family. He paid his respects by touching the feet of Khan's mother, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore, and shared that the family treated him with kindness, even taking photos together. "He (Khan) introduced me to his mother (Sharmila Tagore), and I touched her feet. He gave me (money) whatever he felt was right and said whenever I need help, he will be there," the auto-rickshaw driver said.

Mumbai Police arrested the accused in the stabbing incident on Sunday, and he is currently in custody.
