Renowned actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt recently slammed the conspiracy theorists, who raised questions on Saif Ali Khan’s quick recovery after the attack. The Devara actor was discharged from the hospital on January 21 after 5 days of attack during a robbery attempt at his Bandra residence. The star was seen waving and flashing a smile to the media persons present outside the hospital. The video of the same went viral on social media which received several controversy theories from netizens about the attack on Saif. People questioned how a person who had such severe injuries could walk properly in just a few days.
Pooja Bhatt reacted to the trolls and told ETimes, “The graphic details of the stabbing that emerged in the media painted an image in people's heads about Saif's physical state. That image was perhaps not in sync with the visuals of seeing him walk out of hospital on his own two feet.”
He added, “But don't these very people forget that they lauded him for walking himself into the hospital as well? A man who checks himself into the hospital in a wounded, traumatised condition surely has the grit to walk out of the hospital on his own. We should be applauding this instead of resorting to being conspiracy theorists.”
He was stabbed in spine?
