Following the assault on Saif Ali Khan on January 16, the actor's family came together to support him during his hospital surgeries. His mother, the esteemed actress Sharmila Tagore, was also present by his side. In a recent interview with the Delhi Times, Saif shared that Sharmila held his hand and sang a lullaby to him, reminiscent of the soothing songs she would sing during his infancy.

Saif Ali Khan on Sharmila Tagore's reaction

Saif Ali Khan was attacked by an intruder at his Bandra home in the early hours of January 16. He suffered six knife wounds while trying to overpower him. When asked if Sharmila was angry at him for fighting the attacker or taking his 8-year-old son Taimur with him to the hospital, Saif said, "Well, no, she was firstly, very supportive about Taimur being there. I thought she’d be more annoyed about that. But she said – ‘No, what you thought was right and you’ve exposed him in such a different way to so many things’ – that I mean he’s a different kind of kid. She also completely understood the protective parental instinct. I remember her telling me when I was young that ‘I’ll get in the way if someone ever tries to hurt you’. It had an impact on me. So I guess it’s every parent’s instinct. And she was very protective. The doctors were worried that there shouldn’t be any secondary infection. So she was making sure everyone wore a mask, including the doctors. So there was a bit of fear of the mother."

Saif revealed that Sharmila also sang to him. "She was also very nice. She held my hand and sang me a song, and it was very soothing. I can’t remember (which one). It was a lullaby. That hasn’t happened since I was a baby," he added.
