Saif Ali Khan is recovering at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital following a violent knife attack at his Bandra West residence on Thursday. The incident occurred during the early hours when an intruder confronted Saif’s maid, leading to a confrontation in which Saif sustained multiple stab wounds.
After undergoing emergency surgery, doctors have confirmed that Saif is “out of danger” but remains under observation. The actor’s health insurance claim details, however, were leaked on Twitter, sparking outrage over the breach of privacy.
Saif is a policyholder of Niva Bupa Health Insurance, which confirmed the claim to Mint. The leaked document reportedly shows that Saif claimed Rs 35.95 lakh for his treatment, with Rs 25 lakh already approved by the insurer. The document also reveals sensitive details, including his member ID, diagnosis, room category, and expected discharge date of January 21.
In a statement, Niva Bupa expressed concern over the incident, stating, “The recent unfortunate incident with actor Saif Ali Khan is deeply concerning. We wish him a speedy and safe recovery. Mr. Khan is one of our policyholders. A cashless pre-authorisation request was sent to us upon his hospitalisation, and we have approved an initial amount to start the treatment. Once we receive the final bills post-treatment, they will be settled as per policy terms and conditions. We stand with Mr. Khan and his family during this distressing time.”
Neither Saif Ali Khan nor his family has addressed the leaked health insurance details publicly.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured on Friday that the police have gathered significant clues in the stabbing case of Saif Ali Khan and will soon apprehend the culprit, as per PTI. Speaking to the media in Nagpur, Fadnavis, who also oversees the home portfolio, stated, “Police investigation is going on….they have got many clues and I feel the police will very soon zero in (on the culprit).”
