Mumbai: A heartwarming photo of Saif Ali Khan hugging autorickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana has been going viral. The reunion took place at the hospital, where the driver expressed his happiness at seeing Saif safe and healthy after the traumatic knife attack incident at his residence.

Earlier, Bhajan Singh Rana shared the sequence of events with NDTV, recalling how he rushed to help the actor without knowing his identity. “I was going via Linking Road when a woman came running, shouting, ‘Rickshaw, rickshaw, stop!’ She asked me to stop near the building gate,” Mr. Rana said.

At the time, he didn’t realize the passenger was Saif Ali Khan. He admitted to feeling nervous, “It was an emergency. Even I was nervous about who this passenger was, wearing a white shirt stained with blood. A child and a young man accompanied him. I was worried I might get into trouble.

Despite his apprehension, Rana acted swiftly, ensuring Saif reached the hospital on time.

The police later arrested Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national living in India under a false identity, for breaking into Saif’s home and attacking him.

In recognition of his timely help, Bhajan Singh Rana was rewarded Rs. 11,000. The gesture was praised widely, with fans applauding the autorickshaw driver’s presence of mind and compassion.

Saif’s gesture of reuniting with and embracing the driver further highlighted his gratitude. The moment resonated deeply with fans, who lauded both Saif and Rana for their humanity and resilience.

This incident serves as a reminder of the kindness and bravery of everyday heroes like Bhajan Singh Rana, who step up in moments of crisis.
