In January this year, Saif Ali Khan was stabbed in his Mumbai house during a burglary attempt, and since then, the security around his house has been increased. Now, in an interview with Hauterrfly, Soha Ali Khan recalled a time when even her Mumbai house was broken into by a thief and revealed how Kunal Kemmu dealt with the intruder.

When a thief broke into Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu’s home

Soha recalled that years ago, a thief broke into her house and hid in the bedroom. She said, “In Mumbai, our house was broken into. Not bhai’s, my own house was broken into. Kunal caught the thief and took him to jail. The thief was in our bedroom. It was 4 am, and we were sleeping. We heard a sound. Kunal’s hand was in a cast as he had hurt his fingers during the shooting of Go Goa Gone.”

She recalled how Kunal fought with the thief and said, “Kunal got up to see, and when he pulled up the curtain, wahan par ek pura aadmi khada tha (there was a full-grown man standing there). Kunal kicked him, and they both fell onto the balcony. I called the police. When Kunal came back inside, he said, ‘I think he’s dead.’ So that man actually fell from the balcony, and he was not dead, but he hurt his back, so he was lying on the floor.”

Kunal and Soha met around 2009 while working together on the film Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge. Their friendship soon turned into love and the couple got engaged in 2014. They tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony on 25 January 2015 and welcomed their first child, daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, in 2017.
