Mumbai/IBNS: Prominent Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was on Wednesday night stabbed during a burglary attempt at his home in Mumbai raising questions on security of celebrities in the tinseltown once again.

As per some reports, Saif was stabbed six times leading him to suffer multiple injuries including in his throat, hand and close to spinal cord.
