As 2025 drew to a close, Kareena Kapoor Khan opted for reflection instead of celebration, sharing a heartfelt note that revealed the struggles her family faced throughout the year. On the last night of the year, she took to Instagram to express the fear, pain, and resilience that followed the shocking knife attack on her husband, Saif Ali Khan, earlier in the year.
Accompanied by a candid photo of Saif, Kareena described 2025 as one of the toughest chapters for their family, their children, and their loved ones. Her words resonated with both vulnerability and quiet strength as she acknowledged that the year forced them to confront their fears directly. She talked about endless tears, turning to prayer, and finding moments of laughter even when everything felt overwhelmingly heavy. Kareena emphasized that this experience reinforced her belief that love truly conquers all and that children have a bravery that often goes unnoticed.
The traumatic incident took place in January at their home in Bandra when an intruder broke in with the intent to steal and attacked Saif. The situation escalated quickly, leading to Saif being rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where doctors discovered a spinal fluid leak. What followed was a grueling five-hour surgery involving both spinal and plastic surgeons, during which a piece of the knife had to be removed from his body. After several days in the ICU and intensive medical care, Saif was discharged on January 21, marking the start of a long recovery journey.
Despite the scars—both seen and unseen—Kareena’s note radiated gratitude rather than bitterness. She expressed her thanks to friends, fans, and well-wishers who supported the family during their darkest times, and she conveyed a deep faith in the strength that helped them persevere. As she looked forward to 2026, she wrote about stepping into the new year with renewed passion, positivity, and an unwavering love for cinema, signing off with her signature optimism and the phrase “Char Di Kala.”
