In an emotional revelation, Lalita D’Silva, who was Taimur Ali Khan’s nanny for seven years, expressed her shock and disbelief after hearing about the recent stabbing incident at the Khan family’s Bandra residence. What left her even more stunned was the fact that little Taimur had the strength and presence of mind to rush his father, actor Saif Ali Khan, to the hospital following the attack.
Speaking to India Today, Lalita shared her surprise at how Taimur, who is just a child, was able to handle such a heavy responsibility. “It really shocked me when I heard that Taimur took his father to the hospital. At his age, the child’s mindset is so strong. That’s unimaginable,” she said.
The tragic incident unfolded when an unknown person attacked Saif Ali Khan at his home. While details about the attack remain under investigation, what stood out was the courage shown by Taimur. Despite the frightening circumstances, the young boy remained calm and helped his father in the best way he could, something that left even his former nanny in awe.
Lalita, who worked closely with Taimur from 2016 to 2023, recalls him as a sweet and playful child, but this new side of him—brave and level-headed in a crisis—was beyond her imagination. “I never expected this. Taimur has always been a strong boy, but to see him step up like this, it’s a whole new level of maturity for his age,” she added.
The attack itself has left many questions unanswered, especially regarding how the intruder gained access to the Khan family’s home. Lalita, who had worked in the house for years, revealed that the house did have security cameras installed, including in Taimur’s room. “I don’t know how the person managed to get in. There were always officers coming and going for work, and the building outside was always busy. How could he have slipped past security?” she questioned, referring to the mystery surrounding the attack.
As for Taimur’s reaction to the incident, Lalita believes he will be just as strong as his father in handling tough situations. “Taimur has always been a sensitive and caring child. To see him act so bravely in such a scary moment just shows how much strength he has. I have no doubt that he’ll grow up to be a strong and kind man, just like his father,” she said, her voice filled with admiration for the young boy.
Though the shocking news has shaken many, including Lalita, the incident has also shone a light on the strong bond between father and son. Saif Ali Khan’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor, and other family members have been deeply supportive during this challenging time. The family has also been given temporary police protection following the incident to ensure their safety.
Taimur’s actions, in particular, have caught the attention of many, with people from across the country sending messages of support and admiration for the young boy. Lalita’s words resonate with many who are witnessing Taimur’s growth into a compassionate and resilient young individual.
The incident, though deeply unsettling, has underscored the strength and courage within the Khan family. Taimur’s actions, though a painful reminder of the attack, also highlight his exceptional maturity. His bravery, especially in the face of such distressing circumstances, has certainly left a lasting impression on those who know him, including his former nanny, Lalita D’Silva.
As the investigation into the attack continues, one thing remains clear: Taimur’s actions have not only shown his mental strength but also a deep love and care for his father during a terrifying moment. The young boy’s ability to rise to the occasion has certainly left everyone amazed, especially Lalita, who saw him grow up from a child to someone who can handle crisis with remarkable poise.
