“It disturbed all of us. Our main concern was that he was fine, which he was, and has fully recovered now and is back to work. That was our focus. Thank God, he is alright,” Soha Ali Khan told PTI in an interview.

Saif was attacked in the early hours of January 16 at his Bandra home in Mumbai. He was stabbed six times by the assailant, who was later arrested. The actor was immediately hospitalised and underwent spinal and plastic surgeries at the Lilavati Hospital. He was discharged on January 21.

Soha will be next seen as the antagonist in Chhorii 2, a sequel to the 2021 hit of the same title. The horror drama is headlined by Nushrratt Bharuccha. Chhorii was a remake of director Vishal Furia’s 2017 Marathi film Lapachhapi. It revolves around a pregnant woman whose unborn child is targeted by evil spirits.

Chhorii 2 will pick up the story of Sakshi (Bharuccha) from where it left off in the first film and will bring back some key characters as well as introduce new scares. The sequel, produced by T-Series, Crypt TV and Abundantia Entertainment, is set to release on Prime Video on April 11.
