Saif was attacked in the early hours of January 16 at his Bandra home in Mumbai, where he was stabbed six times. The assailant was arrested shortly after. Following the attack, Saif was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent critical spinal and plastic surgeries. He was discharged on January 21, and Sara mentioned that the entire family remains grateful for his recovery. She opened up about the emotional toll of the ordeal during her appearance on NDTV Yuva.

"It could have gone so wrong... and I am so grateful that everything is fine. It was a reminder almost of the life we have. We all talk about practicing mental health. Being grateful for your life is so important. And moments like that make you realise it," she said.

When asked if the incident brought the family closer, Sara shared that she has always had a strong and close bond with her father.

"It's about making you realise how transient the things that you chase are. It didn’t make me realise I love my father, I have known that for 29 years. It made me realise life can change overnight. So every second of every day deserves mindful celebration. It made me realise the importance of just being," she said.
