Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s swift recovery after a stabbing incident has raised eyebrows, with many wondering how he was discharged just four days after undergoing a six-hour surgery. Now, Pooja Bhatt has come to his defense, slamming trolls circulating conspiracy theories about his swift recovery.
Setting the Record Straight
In an interview with ETimes, Pooja spoke about Saif Ali Khan’s grit and dismissed the ‘conspiracy theorists’. Pooja said, “The graphic details of the stabbing that emerged in the media painted an image in people’s heads about Saif’s physical state. That image was perhaps not in sync with the visuals of seeing him walk out of hospital on his own two feet.” The actor feels Saif has shown courage and set an example for others to follow.
She insisted that people should stop speculating. Pooja added, “But don’t these very people forget that they lauded him for walking himself into the hospital as well? A man who checks himself into hospital in a wounded, traumatised condition surely has the grit to walk out of the hospital on his own. We should be applauding this instead of resorting to being conspiracy theorists.”
Her comment comes after Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam questioned Saif’s quick recovery, saying, “Was the treatment so extraordinary, or should I say has the medical sector advanced so much, that just four days later, Saif Ali Khan returned home jumping and moving?” Sanjay Nirupam’s statement sparked a debate on social media, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding Saif’s recovery.
The incident occurred on January 16, when Saif was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th-floor apartment in the upscale Bandra area of Mumbai. The actor suffered multiple stab injuries in the attack and underwent an emergency surgery at the Lilavati Hospital. He returned home on Tuesday, sparking a wave of speculation about his quick recovery.
Saif’s Bravery Lauded
Pooja Bhatt’s defense of Saif Ali Khan has been met with support from fans and well-wishers. Many have taken to social media to praise Saif’s bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. Saif’s fans have been sharing messages of support and admiration for the actor, who has shown remarkable courage and determination.
