(MENAFN- Live Mint) Afsar Zaidi, a family friend of Saif Ali Khan , has denied reports suggesting that he was the one who took the actor to the hospital on the night of the stabbing.
According to a report by India Today, Zaidi clarified that he only arrived at Lilavati Hospital after receiving a call from the Pataudi family. On January 16, around 3:30 AM, he was contacted by Saif's family to come to the hospital as the actor was being admitted, following an attack where Saif was stabbed six times by an intruder during an attempted robbery at his Bandra residence.

An admission form for Saif Ali Khan at Lilavati Hospital, accessed by India Today, outlined the injuries the Bollywood star sustained. The form listed Afsar Zaidi's name under the“brought to the hospital by” field, with his relation to Saif noted as "friend." This is likely because Saif's young son, Taimur, was not capable of filling out the form himself.
