However, minutes later, her appeal was not to be found on Instagram.

The family has been going through an incredibly tough time over the last few days, ever since Saif Ali Khan was attacked.

This is not the first time that the actress has appealed for some privacy.

Three days ago, Kareena, in a statement, wrote, “It has been an incredibly challenging day for our family, and we are still trying to process the events that have unfolded. As we navigate this difficult time, I respectfully and humbly request that the media and paparazzi refrain from the relentless speculation and coverage.

“While we appreciate the concern and support, the constant scrutiny and attention are not only overwhelming but also pose a significant risk to our safety. I kindly request that you respect our boundaries and give us the space we need to heal and cope as a family. I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation during this sensitive time – Kareena Kapoor Khan.”

It all started with actor Saif Ali Khan being stabbed multiple times by a burglar whom he attempted to fight off in the wee hours of Thursday. The actor sustained six stab wounds, two of which were said to be serious as they were closer to his spine. The incident took place at 2:15 am when the burglar allegedly barged into their Bandra home, and attacked their house help and then Saif when he intervened.

Later, the actor’s team issued an official statement saying that the actor was stable and was out of danger now. He is being monitored by a team of medical professionals as he sets out on the path of recovery.

A senior police official said on Saturday that Kareena Kapoor Khan informed them that the intruder who entered their house in Mumbai got aggressive during the scuffle but did not touch jewellery kept in the open, as reported by news agency PTI. The police recorded the actress’s statement following the attack at the Bollywood star couple’s apartment in Bandra in the early hours of Thursday, the official said.

An intruder attacked Khan (54) after entering his 12th-floor apartment in the Satguru Sharan building. The actor sustained multiple stab wounds, including on his neck, and was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. The intruder still remains at large despite more than 30 teams on the lookout for him on Friday.

According to the official, Kareena, in her statement, said the intruder got very aggressive during the scuffle with Saif, stabbing him multiple times. He, however, did not touch the jewellery kept in the open, PTI reported.

He said the police are yet to record Khan’s statement. After the incident, Kareena’s sister, actress Karishma Kapoor, took her to her residence in Khar, the official said. The police have formed more than 30 teams to trace the attacker, who remains at large more than 48 hours after the incident.

Meanwhile, autorickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana, in whose vehicle the actor was rushed to the hospital, is hogging media limelight and is being hailed as a hero. Rana said he was not aware that the passenger with the blood-soaked ‘kurta’ he ferried to Lilavati Hospital was popular actor Khan, a Padma Shri awardee. “It was only when we reached the hospital gate that he called the guard to fetch a stretcher, saying he was Saif Ali Khan,” he told reporters.

Rana said when he was passing by the building where the actor stayed, a woman and a few others asked him to stop the rickshaw. “Then the person whose white kurta was soaked in blood got in the auto. I noticed he had neck and back injuries, but did not notice the hand injury,” he said. “He (Saif) walked into the auto. There was a seven or eight-year-old boy who also boarded the rickshaw,” he said when asked if the actor’s son Taimur accompanied him to the hospital. “When we reached the hospital, he called out to the guard at the gate and told him, ‘Please bring a stretcher. I am Saif Ali Khan’,” he said.
