Sara Ali Khan Recalls ‘Freezing’ After Saif Ali Khan Was Stabbed, Calls It a ‘Freeze Impulse’ at Times Now Summit 2025
Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan recently described that moment of sheer fright when she heard the news of her father, Saif Ali Khan, being stabbed. At the Times Now Summit 2025, while discussing the attack on his father, Sara expressed that she felt complete shock and could not even digest what had happened. She characterized her reaction as “freeze impulse,” wherein she switched off all her emotions on hearing the news.
“I don’t remember much—it was a freeze impulse. I didn’t know what was happening. We were lucky that it wasn’t critical. From the hospital to getting updates, those 15-20 minutes felt like a lifetime. But I was relieved very fast,” shared Sara.
It was during those horrendous moments when Saif Ali Khan somehow kept his cool that his daughter was calmed. Sara remembered how she saw the smiling face of her father as he was discharged from the hospital, reassuring her that he was going to be okay. “That’s just who he is. It’s a combination of his nature and his role as a father. As a father of four, with two small children, he had to show that he was okay. He has always been a fighter, and I look up to him for never giving up. That’s the nature of our job—sometimes, you have to put on a brave face and say, ‘I’m fine,’” she explained.

The diva further expressed that while her father remains calm in the face of stress, her reaction is utterly different: “He is much better than others in panic situations. I, on the other hand, panic first, freeze, and cry,” she confessed.
