Kareena Kapoor Breaks Silence on Husband Saif Ali Khan’s Stabbing Incident

In an interview with Barkha Dutt on Mojo Story, Kareena Kapoor opened up about husband Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident for the first time. The actress said, "I am still kind of struggling with what it does to see someone there in your child's room. In Mumbai, you can never really hear about such incidents. It is very common in the US. In Mumbai, we have never really heard about such incidents. We have still not come to terms 100 per cent. At least I haven't. I was very anxious for the first couple of months. It was very difficult to sleep and get back to the person  with the kind of normalcy."

When asked how she deals with the traumatic experience from the incident, the Crew actress said, "With time, I realised that the memory fades more and more. It's there in your heart. Its like death." She said that it has been a tough journey due to the fear and anxiety, and being a mother of two. Kareena Kapoor revealed that she is grateful that they are safe.

The actress also shared a sweet reaction from her younger son Jehangir, who feels that his father, Saif, is Batman or Iron Man. Talking about it, Bebo said, "We are definitely stronger as a unit. I hope that my boys will grow up being a different kind of resilient because they have kind of seen their father being attacked. My little one still says 'My father is Batman and Iron Man. He can take on anyone.' That’s the way he looks at it." Kareena shared that she feels the unfortunate incident has shown her kids a reality of the world, which will in some way prepare them for the future. Kareena Kapoor Khan Celebrates 25 Years in Bollywood by Sharing Nostalgic Throwbacks From Her Debut Film ‘Refugee’ With Abhishek Bachchan (See Post).
