Sanjay Nirupam, a leader of the Shiv Sena, recently expressed his astonishment regarding actor Saif Ali Khan's swift return home from the hospital, merely four days following a stabbing incident at his residence in Mumbai. This reaction came in light of reports detailing a '2.5-inch knife wound and a six-hour surgical procedure.' Nirupam questioned, “Could Saif's physical fitness have contributed to his rapid recovery?”

In a discussion with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Tarun Sahani, a senior consultant in internal medicine at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, affirmed that the actor's pre-existing fitness level could indeed be a significant factor in his seemingly quick recuperation.

‘One of the major factors is how fit you were before'

Dr. Sahani elaborated that recovery durations following stab wounds can vary considerably based on the injury's severity, the wound's location, and the patient's overall health. He stated, “The recovery from any medical condition, including surgical procedures, is influenced by numerous factors. A primary consideration is the individual's fitness level prior to the injury. Additionally, nutritional status, immune function, and any pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, play crucial roles.”

It is important to recognize that each person's recovery journey is distinct, with elements such as age, general health, and the injury's severity affecting the healing process. Dr. Sahani noted, “For a young adult without comorbidities or significant health issues, recovery largely hinges on fitness and nutritional health. A young man who maintains a regular exercise routine, follows a balanced diet, and possesses good physical condition is likely to have robust immunity and recover swiftly.”

More about the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case

Last week, the Bollywood actor was assaulted by an intruder who unlawfully entered his residence with the intention of theft. Following a violent altercation with the assailant, Saif Ali Khan suffered stab wounds to his thoracic spine and other areas of his body. He was promptly transported to Lilavati Hospital for medical attention after the incident.

Saif was discharged from Lilavati Hospital after undergoing surgery on Tuesday. Upon his return to his residence in Bandra, he acknowledged the media presence with a wave and greeted the paparazzi with a smile.

What Sanjay Nirupam said about Saif's recovery

In a recent statement to news agency ANI, Sanjay expressed, “There are several questions that remain unanswered in my mind, and I believe many residents of Mumbai share the same sentiment… when the attack occurred, it was reported by medical professionals that a 2.5-inch knife had penetrated his back. The doctors also indicated that the surgical procedure lasted six hours. Furthermore, the auto driver who transported him noted that he arrived at the hospital in a severely injured and bloodied state.”

He continued, “Was the medical treatment exceptionally effective, or has the healthcare sector advanced to such a degree that just four days later, Saif Ali Khan was able to return home in a seemingly vigorous state? I have several inquiries. Was Saif in such remarkable physical condition that he recovered swiftly? Did his regular exercise regimen contribute to his rapid recovery, or is there another explanation? It is essential to clarify the true severity of the attack. Was the assailant genuinely as perilous as depicted, and what was the nature of the assault?”

It is important to recognize that full recovery from stab-related surgery can require several weeks to months, and patients may need to attend follow-up consultations with their surgeon to assess healing progress and remove any sutures or staples. In certain instances, physical therapy may be necessary to restore strength and mobility.
