Actress Karishma Tanna, when approached by paparazzi, also expressed similar concerns candidly. "Bura lag raha hain par kya karey? This is like a wake-up call for everyone. It's really bad. Main bhi apni security se baat kar rahi hoon. Speedy recovery to Saif (I'm feeling bad, but what can we do? This is like a wake-up call for everyone. It's really bad.

This is very sad indeed! May your bravery and love for your family be rewarded with healing, strength, and peace. Get well soon #SaifAliKhan.”
The attack unfolded in Mumbai's high-profile Bandra neighbourhood, an area synonymous with celebrity residences. It has raised uncomfortable questions about security infrastructure even in supposedly secure locales. Fans and celebrities alike are now calling for stricter safety measures and better governance, emphasising that fame and fortune offer no guarantees of safety.
