Kunal Kohli's reaction on Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident
"First of all, I don't think this is a regular occurrence. This is not something that happens frequently. It's strange. It's a very shocking incident, a very sad incident, and I think what we really need to understand is that we need to be sensitive to how the children must be feeling about this because it happened in front of them. You know how Kareena, as a mother, would be reacting to this. And I think that is what we need to focus on and be sensitive about," Kohli told new agency ANI.
The shocking incident which took place at Saif Ali Khan's Bandra residence, has raised concerns about safety in Mumbai. However, Kohli added that he believes the city is 'very safe' and he has full faith in the Mumbai Police and the Maharashtra government.
Mumbai is a very safe city. I was born and brought up in Mumbai, and I feel that this is a strange and very unfortunate incident. I have full faith in the Mumbai Police and the Maharashtra government, and I'm sure they will get to the bottom of this," Kohli told ANI.
