“He’s my friend and co-actor… Government and police administration is working to nab the culprits. The culprit will be caught soon, Mumbai police has a good reputation. He’ll be given strict punishment. Security of actors should be given importance. I pray to lord that Saif recovers soon,” Kishan told PTI.

“Can this lawlessness please be curbed @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice We need more Police presence in Bandra. The city & especially the queen of the subburbs, have never felt so unsafe before,” she said.
