‘Saif Ali Khan’s house lacked basic security, Kareena Kapoor panicked after her car was attacked post stabbing’: Ronit Roy recalls incident

When asked if the home lacked basic safety protocols, Ronit clarified, “I wouldn’t say they were missing, but they weren’t being paid attention to. That’s because you don’t expect something like this to happen. And that’s exactly when it happens, when you’re not expecting it. That’s what intelligence is: you assess what could happen and plug those loopholes.”

He also described the tense moment when Saif was returning home from the hospital. “You know how crowded it was everywhere,” Ronit recalled. “When Bebo left the hospital for home, there was a minor scuffle around her car, like an attempted attack. She got really scared. There were so many media people and even others who had pushed through and the car was shaking. So she called me and asked me to bring Saif home. Once he was back, we had security fully in place, with strong support from the police as well. Now, everything is fine.”

In the same interview, Ronit also reflected on why he launched his own security firm back in 1996. “A friend once told me something I’ll never forget,” he said. “He told me, even if your films don’t work, you are a brand. You are Ronit Roy, and no one can take that away from you.” He also shared that during that period, acting offers had dried up, and he needed to find a way to keep things afloat at home. Taking his friend’s advice to heart, he ventured into the security consultancy business.
