The actor, renowned for his performances in Dil Chahta Hai and Netflix’s Sacred Games, was attacked on Thursday. His team has requested fans to remain calm as Khan recovers.

Kareena Kapoor, Khan’s wife and a prominent Bollywood actress, told local media, “Saif had an injury on his arm for which he is in hospital. The rest of the family is doing fine.”

With over 70 films and TV series to his credit, Khan is celebrated both in India and globally. Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with prayers and well-wishes for his swift recovery.
