Indian movie star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed during a fight with an intruder at his home early Thursday and underwent surgery at a hospital, media reports said.
The 54-year-old actor was taken to hospital from his home in Mumbai, the country’s financial and entertainment capital, where he lives with his film star wife Kareena Kapoor and two sons.
Two of the six wounds were deep, including one near the spine, the Press Trust of India news agency cited a doctor at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital as saying.

Indian media quoted police as saying the intruder broke into the house around 2:30 a.m. and fled after stabbing Khan. A female employee at Khan’s home was also injured in the attack and was being treated, they said.
Police are investigating and have launched a search for the attacker.
Kapoor, Khan’s wife, said in a statement that her family was doing well and asked “the media and fans to be patient and stop speculating as the police are already carrying out their due investigations.”
Khan, who is also a film producer, has featured in around 70 films and television series. He is the son of former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Bollywood actor Sharmila Tagore.
He has won several awards for his roles in Hindi cinema, including seven Filmfare Awards. In 2010, he was awarded the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian honor.
