Earlier, recalling the events of the night, Bhajan Lal had told Indian Express that Saif got in his auto with a staff member and his son Taimur. “They were in such an urgent state that I couldn’t think of asking for money. Having such a big actor sit in my auto was satisfaction enough for me.”

He said that when they reached Lilavati Hospital, there was a guard standing at the entrance. It was only then that he realised who was in his auto. “He (Saif) said, call him (the guard) quickly, ‘Main Saif Ali Khan hoon (I am Saif Ali Khan)’. A stretcher was brought, and he got on it,” he said.
