Auto Rickshaw driver who took Saif Ali Khan to the hospital gets a reward

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was injured during a robbery attempt at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on the night of January 16.

The actor resisted the robbers, which led to him being attacked with a knife. He sustained six injuries, two of which were deep, with one wound dangerously close to his spine.

Following the incident, Saif was transported to a local hospital in a rickshaw, rather than his private vehicle. Reports indicate that Saif’s son, Taimur Ali Khan, assisted in getting him to the hospital with the help of the rickshaw driver, Bhajan Singh Rana.

In an interview, Bhajan Singh Rana stated that he was passing by Saif’s apartment late at night when a woman flagged down his rickshaw.

The woman instructed him to stop outside the apartment, where a man in blood-soaked clothes, along with a child and another individual, boarded the rickshaw. Saif then directed him to drive to Lilavati Hospital. At that point, Bhajan did not recognize the actor.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Saif revealed his identity to the medical staff. Doctors performed surgery to remove a 2.5-inch knife fragment lodged near his spine. After six days of treatment, Saif was discharged from the hospital.

As a gesture of appreciation, Mumbai-based social worker Faheem Ansari rewarded Bhajan Singh Rana with ₹11,000. The rickshaw driver expressed pride and happiness at being able to assist Saif during such a critical moment, calling the experience unforgettable.
