Saif and auto driver's conversation

After meeting Actor Saif Ali Khan and his family, Bhajan Singh, the auto-rickshaw driver who took the actor to Lilavati Hospital spoke to the media. "He thanked me. His mother and the entire family told me that I did good work. I met his mother and took his blessings. I am very happy that I got to meet such big stars. On the night of the incident, I did not think about money or anything else. I just wanted his life to be saved," the auto driver said. 

The driver did not take money

Bhajan Singh Rana did not take the fare amount from the actor after he dropped him at the hospital. The driver claimed that Saif was talking to the youngster in the auto and that there was another young man inside, seemingly referring to Ibrahim Ali Khan, the 23-year-old son of Saif and Amrita Singh, his first wife. He also revealed that earlier they planned to go to the Holy Family hospital in Bandra. But later Saif asked to be taken to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent surgeries and was later shifted to the ICU. 

Saif Ali Khan thanked his fans

On Tuesday, Saif was discharged from the Lilavati Hospital, where he walked out and thanked his fans for their prayers. He also told the media and papparazi that he was doing fine and will take rest for the coming days. 

The actor was last seen in Jr NTR starrer Devara: Part 1 and is reportedly having Thalaivan Irukkindraa, Go Goa Gone 2 and Devara: Part 2 in his pipeline. If reports are to be believed then, Saif will also reprise his role of Ranvir Singh in Race 4.
