MUMBAI, India (AP) — Indian Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed early Thursday in a scuffle with an intruder at his home and underwent surgery at a hospital, media reports said.

The 54-year-old actor was rushed to the hospital from his home in Mumbai, the country’s financial and entertainment capital, where he lives with his film star wife Kareena Kapoor and two sons.

Two of the six wounds were deep, one of which was near his spine, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted a doctor at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai as saying.

Indian media quoted police as saying the intruder entered the house around 2:30 a.m. and fled after stabbing Khan. An employee at Khan’s home was also injured in the attack and was being treated, it said.

The police are investigating and have launched a search for the attacker.

Kapoor, Khan’s wife, said in a statement that his family is doing well and urged “the media and fans to be patient and not speculate further as the police are already conducting necessary investigations.”

Khan, who is also a film producer, has appeared in around 70 films and television series. He is the son of former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore.

He won several awards for his roles in Hindi cinema, including seven Filmfare Awards. In 2010, he received the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award.
