Alia Bhatt’s half-brother Rahul Bhatt feels Saif Ali Khan should have invested in better security as he reacts to his knife attack: ‘When there are children involved…’ |

Rahul Bhatt, Alia Bhatt’s half-brother, recently shared his thoughts on the knife attack involving Saif Ali Khan. Since Alia is related to Saif through Ranbir and Kareena, who are cousins, Rahul commented that given Saif’s fame and wealth, he should have ensured tighter security.
Stressing the Importance of Security for Families
In conversation with Hindi Rush, Rahul emphasized the importance of taking extra precautions, especially when children are around. He said that while an individual might not worry much about their own safety, having kids, a large staff, and a high-profile status means stronger security becomes a necessary investment.
Concerns Over Paparazzi and Public Exposure
He further mentioned that with constant paparazzi attention and a well-known residence, there’s always a risk, even of incidents like fires. He said that if he were in such a position, he would have taken precautions, though he isn’t fully aware of the exact details of what happened to Saif.

Security Should Be Preventive, Not Reactive
Rahul said he hasn’t closely followed the case and doesn’t feel it’s entirely his place to comment. However, he believes Saif is now paying more attention to his security. He stressed that security should be preventive, not something that gets strengthened only after an incident occurs.

Saif Ali Khan’s Recovery and Steps Taken Post-Attack
Earlier this year, Saif Ali Khan was violently attacked at his Mumbai home and had to undergo surgery to remove a knife fragment near his spine. Despite the ordeal, he returned to work within days. To ensure his family’s safety, he hired Ronit Roy’s security firm, and CCTV cameras and safety nets were soon seen being installed at his residence.

Saif Ali Khan Returns with a Stylish Thriller
On the work front, Saif Ali Khan is set to star in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, a stylish thriller premiering on Netflix from April 25. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth and Mamta Anand under Marflix, the film promises action, suspense, and a fresh new look for Saif.
