Karisma, whose younger sister and Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor is married to Saif, took to her Instagram stories section, where she shared a post which read: “Positive Vibes Only.”
The post comes after Saif returned home in the Bandra area of Mumbai. The actor was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of denims, and was seen shaking hands with friends and neighbours, as he walked towards his den. The dressing on his neck was also visible through his collar.
The 54-year-old star was reportedly attacked by an assailant who barged into his Bandra house through his youngest son, Jeh’s room during the wee hours of January 16. As per claims, the actor went to the hospital on his own, and was accompanied by his son Taimur.
As per media reports, doctors removed the 2.5 inches of knife from his wound. He was stabbed multiple times in an attempt to fight off a burglar during the wee hours of January 16. The actor sustained six stab wounds, two of which are said to be serious as they are closer to his spine.
After he was admitted in the hospital, a document pertaining to the insurance claim made by the actor went viral. It showed an initial requested amount of Rs 35, 98, 700 against an approved amount of Rs 250, 00, 000.

Released in 1994, Andaz Apna Apna is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. It also stars Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal (in a dual role) and Shakti. Although the film was a semi-hit at the box office, the film has emerged as a cult film over the years.
Shakti’s lines as Gogo such as “Aaya hun, kuch toh leke jaunga. Khaandani chor hun main”, “Crime Master Gogo naam hai mera, aankhen nikal ke gotiyan khelta hun main” and “Suno suno duniya ke logon, sabse bada hai mister Gogo” are still popular amongst cinephiles.
Meanwhile, 2024 has been an incredible year for Shraddha, as ‘Stree 2’ raced ahead of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Jawan’ to become the biggest hit in Hindi cinema before it was beaten by the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’.
On the work front, the actress will reportedly star in the next installment of the “Dhoom” franchise alongside actor Ranbir Kapoor, with whom she worked in the 2023 film “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar”. (IANS)
