Kareena Calls 2025 A Difficult Year For Her Family: We Cried A Lot

MUMBAI -Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan has described 2025 as ‘tough’ for her and her entire family.

Reflecting on the lessons the year taught them, the actress added, “2025 has been a difficult year for us, our children and our families… But we went through it, heads held high, laughing and holding on. We cried a lot, we prayed and now we are here… 2025 taught us that human nature is fearless, love will conquer all, and that children are braver than we think. (sic)”

As the Khan family prepares to step into 2026, Kareena said they are filled with gratitude and positivity.

“We are entering 2026 with a renewed fire in our bellies, immense gratitude and positivity, and an undying passion for what we do best… the movies… Like I always say, CHAR DI KALA. Happy New Year, everyone…!”

Kareena’s husband and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was attacked by a burglar at his residence in January 2025, following which he was hospitalized for nearly 10 days. The actor sustained multiple stab wounds and a spinal injury.

Months after the attack, Saif spoke publicly about the terrifying incident for the first time during an appearance on the talk show ‘Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle’, hosted by Kajol and Twinkle Khanna. He revealed that along with him, his younger son Jeh and their nanny were also victims of the knife attack.

Recalling the incident, Saif described how it unfolded late at night while his family, including Kareena and their children, were at home.

He said, “We had just gone to sleep, and Kareena had been out. I had finished watching movies with the boys, and they had gone to sleep. It was quite late, around 2 o’clock in the morning. Kareena came back, we had a small chat, and then we went to sleep.”

He added, “Suddenly the maid came in and said that somebody was there in Jeh’s room and asking for money. I barged into Jeh’s room in the dark, and I saw this guy standing over his bed with a knife.”

Saif explained that the attacker had already injured Jeh and was trying to flee. “While poking the knife at Jeh and the nanny, he had already slightly cut Jeh on his hand and had also hurt the nanny.”

He further said, “I walked in and saw this guy and thought he was smaller than me, so I jumped on him. Jeh later told me that it was a big mistake and that I should have punched or kicked him. But I jumped, and we started fighting. He had two knives and began slashing at me. I tried to remember my training and blocked him a couple of times. Then I suddenly felt a thump in my back. It was really very hard and bad.”

“At that point, he had cut me everywhere — my neck and my back — and there was blood everywhere,” Saif said.

He also spoke about his son Taimur’s fear at that moment. “I looked at Taimur, and he looked at me and said, ‘Oh my God.’ He probably thought I was going to die. I told him, ‘No, I don’t think so. I have pain in my back, but I’m fine.’” (IANS)
