Member of Maharashtra Assembly Aaditya Thackeray took to his X profile to share concerns about Saif Ali Khan's attack. "The intrusion and knife attack on Saif Ali Khan is shocking. We are relieved to hear that he is stable and recovering, and we pray that tough times are over, and he bounces back to normalcy at the earliest.  The fact that it happened, however, only highlights the absolute shambles of law and order in Maharashtra. Over the past 3 years, hit-and-run cases, actors and politicians being threatened and cases like those in Beed and Parbhani only show that the Government has been an absolute failure in curbing crime and maintaining law and order. Do we have anyone in the government that cares about citizen safety at all?" 

On the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said, "Mumbai is one of the safest places in the country but sometimes such incidents happen. But it is not right to say that Mumbai is unsafe. Police has given you all the information in the Saif Ali Khan case. It's told, what kind of attack is this and what kind of intention was behind it, all these things have come to you."
