Kunal Kemmu fought the thief, I cried in corner: Soha recalls burglary incident
Soha Ali Khan recalled a burglary attempt at her home and said Kunal Kemmu fought the intruder. Her account reminded of how Saif Ali Khan was attacked during a robbery attempt at his home earlier this year.
Actor Soha Ali Khan has recalled a burglary attempt at her former home, revealing that she “stood in the corner and cried” while husband Kunal Kemmu confronted an intruder inside their house.
Speaking on Yuvaa, Soha said the incident, which took place in 2011, happened around 4 am when a thief entered their bedroom while they were asleep.
The actor’s remarks have resurfaced months after her brother, Saif Ali Khan, was attacked during a robbery attempt at his Bandra residence in January 2025. Reflecting on her own experience, Soha admitted she froze in fear during the break-in and was unable to react in the moment, while Kunal physically fought the intruder despite having his hand in a cast.
What did Soha Ali Khan say about the robbery attempt?
Recalling the incident, Soha said she was overwhelmed with fear when the intruder entered their home in the middle of the night. “When our house was broken into, and Kunal caught the thief many years ago, I stood in the corner and cried,” she said during the podcast.
The actor added that she did not consider it her “finest moment” and admitted she wished she had reacted differently. Soha described herself as someone whose “system tends to shut down” in stressful situations and said she has been trying to work on it over the years. She also jokingly referred to herself as a “phattu” (coward) while discussing her reaction to the incident.
How did Kunal Kemmu respond during the break-in?
According to Soha, Kunal took charge during the robbery attempt and confronted the thief directly. Despite having his hand in a cast at the time, the actor-filmmaker reportedly managed to catch and fight the intruder inside their home.
Her account drew renewed attention because of the attack on Saif earlier this year, when the actor was stabbed multiple times while trying to protect his family during a robbery attempt at his residence. Saif later underwent surgeries following the attack.
What else did Soha reveal on the podcast?
During the same conversation, Soha spoke about the people she turns to for advice in different areas of life. She said Saif often gives her relationship advice, while sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan keeps her updated with “irrelevant information” and gossip.
On the work front, Soha was last seen in Chhorii 2 alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha. The first film, Chhorii, was released in 2021, on Amazon Prime Video.
