We hope Saif Ali Khan's health is better and we all are concerned for him, Shahid Kapoor on Friday said about his Rangoon co-star who was repeatedly stabbed by an intruder in his highrise apartment.
Saif, 54, received six stab injuries, including in his neck, in the attack around 2.30 am on Thursday. He was out of danger following an emergency surgery at the Lilavati Hospital where he was rushed, according to doctors treating him.
"We hope Saif's health is better. We hope he is feeling better. We all are shocked with what happened with him in a personal space. It's difficult to absorb (something like this) in a city like Mumbai. I'm sure the police are trying their best..." Shahid told reporters at the trailer launch of his new movie Deva.
Such incidents normally don't happen in Mumbai, added Shahid.
"Mumbai is a very safe city. When a family member or ladies go out at 2 am, it's still safe. It's a shocking incident. We are hoping and praying he recovers soon. We are hoping and praying for him all the time," he said.
Saif and Shahid had shared the screen space in Vishal Bhardwaj's 2017 period movie Rangoon, which also starred Kangana Ranaut.
