Shahid Kapoor reacted recently to Saif Ali Khan’s knife attack and said that it can happen to anybody. He expressed his concerns over the security lapse in residential complexes and said that he is happy to see Saif recover.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Shahid said, “This can happen with anyone. But, Mumbai is a very safe city and it has always been known to be safe. This is a very shocking incident and everyone is very surprised. There are many cities where these things happen and it’s not a big deal only. But, this can happen to anybody. I am not going to say that celebrities are a soft target.”

He added, “There are lots of people out there who will probably be in a similar situation. Even if it would have happened with a normal individual, we should be as concerned. Because he is a celebrity toh bas uske baare mai baat zyada hoti hai (so he is spoken about a lot). It is definitely something that we should look into. Security in residential complexes really needs to be taken seriously. I am sure everybody is shocked by what happened. We all are just happy to see that he is back and doing well.”

Saif was stabbed six times when an intruder broke into his house in Mumbai’s Bandra on January 16. Following the attack, he was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital and went through two surgeries and was discharged five days after the incident.

On the work front, Shahid will be seen next in Deva, which is set to be released in theatres on January 31.
