Saif also opened up about how Taimur insisted that he’ll accompany him to the hospital after the attack. “He was absolutely composed. He was fine. He said, ‘I’m coming with you.’ And I thought, if something happens… I was getting a lot of comfort just from looking at him at that time. And I didn’t want to go alone. My wife (Kareena Kapoor) sent him knowing what he would do for me. Maybe it wasn’t… at the moment, it was the right thing to do. I felt good about it. And I also thought, if God forbid, something happens, I’d like for him to be there. And he wanted to be there also." he shared. Ever since the attack, the 8-year-old has been quite concerned about security.

Jeh has given me a plastic sword, and said, ‘Keep this by your bed for the next time the chor (thief) comes’. He says, ‘Geeta saved Abba and Abba saved me.’ Saif shared. 

Sara and Ibrahim have also been deeply affected by the incident. The latter has been spending a lot of time with Saif since the incident. It’s been really kind of nice for the family to come together, but also obviously, a bit of a shock for everyone." Saif explained.
