He has recovered and is back to work: Soha Ali Khan on brother Saif’s stabbing incident

Mumbai: Actor Soha Ali Khan said her brother Saif Ali Khan has returned to work after recovering from the injuries he sustained during the knife attack at his residence in January this year.

Saif, 54, was attacked in the early hours of January 16 at his Bandra home in Mumbai. He was stabbed six times by the assailant, who was later arrested.

The actor was immediately hospitalised and underwent spinal and plastic surgeries at the Lilavati Hospital. He was discharged on January 21.

“It disturbed all of us. Our main concern was that he was fine, which he was and has fully recovered now and is back to work. That was our focus. Thank God, he is alright,” Soha told PTI in an interview.

Soha will be seen next as the antagonist in “Chhorii 2”, a sequel to the 2021 hit of the same title. The horror drama is headlined by Nushrratt Bharuccha.

“Chhorii” was a remake of director Vishal Furia’s 2017 Marathi film “Lapachhapi”, which revolves around a pregnant woman whose unborn child is targeted by evil spirits.

“Chhorii 2” will pick up the story of Sakshi (Bharuccha) from where it left off in the first film and will bring back some key characters as well as introduce new scares.

The sequel, produced by ‘T-Series’, ‘Crypt TV’ and ‘Abundantia Entertainment’, is set to release on ‘Prime Video’ on April 11.
