Kareena Kapoor Khan Reveals How Saif Ali Khan's Knife Attack Affected Her: I Was Very Anxious For Months

Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident, which occurred months ago, continues to haunt his family and fans. Kareena Kapoor Khan, his wife, recently opened up about the emotional turmoil she faced following the attack. In an interview with Barkha Dutt on Mojo Story, Kareena described Saif as an 'Iron Man' for their children, Taimur and Jeh.

Kareena shared her struggle with anxiety and sleeplessness in the aftermath of the incident. She expressed her difficulty in accepting that someone could invade their personal space. Despite the trauma, she emphasised the need to remain strong for her family. "When you lose someone, you never really get over it," she said, comparing the attack's impact to a death.

"I don't want to live in that fear for my children because that's also wrong to put that stress on them. So it's been a tough journey to manoeuvre from fear and anxiety to balancing the fact that I am a mother and I am also a wife. I am still kind of struggling with what it does to see someone there in your child's room. In Mumbai, you never really hear about such incidents I was very anxious for the first couple of months. It was very difficult to sleep and get back to the person with that kind of normalcy," Kareena added.

Impact on Family and Children

The incident has deeply affected Kareena on a personal level. She revealed that it shattered the protective bubble around her children, Taimur and Jeh. The experience exposed them to harsh realities but also made them more resilient. Kareena hopes this will help them grow into grounded individuals.

Jeh views Saif as a superhero akin to Batman or Iron Man, believing he can overcome any challenge. This perception has brought their family closer and strengthened their bond despite the adversity they faced.

Coping with Criticism and Moving Forward

Kareena also addressed criticism for not being home during the attack. She expressed sadness over social media users' mindset and questioned the content people value today. Despite these challenges, Saif encourages his family to move forward without fear.

On her professional front, Kareena is preparing for a new project titled "Daayra" alongside Meghna Gulzar and Prithviraj Sukumaran. This work offers her a chance to focus on something positive amid personal struggles.

The traumatic event has undeniably left a lasting mark on Kareena Kapoor Khan's life. However, she remains determined not to let fear dictate her family's future. Her resilience serves as an inspiration for many facing similar challenges.
