Mumbai: For Saif Ali Khan, life is fast returning to normal.
Just over a fortnight after being stabbed multiple times by an intruder at his Bandra residence, the actor flashed his characteristic charm and smile on Monday, in what was his first public appearance since the scary attack in mid-January.
It was a Netflix event, and a happy one for Saif as the teaser of his upcoming OTT film ‘Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins’ – co-starring Jaideep Ahlawat — was unveiled.
Saif, who attended the event with a cast on his left arm, spoke about how he was happy to be “standing here” after what he went through.
“It’s very nice to be standing here in front of you… it feels very nice to be here. I’m very excited about this movie. Siddharth (Anand) and I have been talking about this for a long time. I’ve always wanted to do a heist film and I couldn’t have asked for a better co-star (touches Ahlawat’s shoulder). Basically, a lovely movie and I’m very excited,” Saif said.
