Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has expressed his gratitude to auto-rickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana, who promptly transported him to the hospital following a knife attack at his residence in Mumbai. The actor not only thanked Rana for his assistance but also provided him with some financial support, promising to offer help whenever necessary.
On January 16, in the early hours, Saif was attacked by an intruder who repeatedly stabbed him inside his 12th-floor apartment located in the affluent Bandra neighbourhood. The actor sustained several stab wounds and required emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital. He was discharged and returned home on Tuesday.

Saif encountered Singh Rana at the hospital on Tuesday before his discharge. "I met him (Saif) yesterday at the hospital. He called to express his gratitude for assisting him in reaching the hospital. He commended me, and I received blessings from him and his family," the auto-rickshaw driver conveyed to PTI.
"He (Saif) introduced me to his mother (Sharmila Tagore), and I paid my respects by touching her feet. He offered me a monetary amount that he deemed appropriate and assured me that he would be available to help whenever I needed it," Singh Rana stated.
Additionally, he remarked to ANI, “I was delighted to meet such a prominent star and his family; his mother praised me. I cannot fault him for not compensating me when I transported him to the hospital; understandably, anyone in such a situation might not be able to do so. It would be acceptable if someone in that circumstance did not pay at all; the priority is ensuring their safety.”
What happened
The individual identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi citizen who unlawfully entered India and adopted the alias Vijay Das, was apprehended on Sunday in the neighbouring city of Thane.
Initial inquiries indicate that the suspect intended to perpetrate theft within the residence of the actor, as reported by law enforcement officials.
According to police statements, he accessed the actor's premises by climbing over the compound wall and subsequently entered through the main entrance after discovering the security personnel were asleep.
