Celebs react to attack on Saif Ali Khan 


Saif’s Devara: Part 1 co-star Jr NTR wrote on X, “Shocked and saddened to hear about the attack on Saif sir. Wishing and praying for his speedy recovery and good health.”


Pooja Bhatt wrote, “Can this lawlessness please be curbed @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice. We need more Police presence in Bandra. The city & especially the queen of the suburbs, have  never felt so unsafe before.”

“Local police are our first preventers/grassroot defenders. It is law enforcement's duty to create an environment in which people with a criminal bent do not feel comfortable to operate. The Beat officer must act as a deterrent in preventing criminal activity,” she added in a subsequent post. 

“It’s sad. He is my friend and fellow artist… Mumbai Police is investigating and the thief will be caught. I pray for his recovery,” Ravi Kishan told PTI.
