Saif Ali Khan buys luxury residence in Qatar months after stabbing attack in Mumbai: 'It should be safe'

Saif Ali Khan, known for his luxurious homes in India – including the iconic Pataudi Palace and an upscale apartment in Bandra – has now expanded his property portfolio internationally. The actor has invested in a high-end residence at The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, located in The Pearl, Qatar.
During a press event organised by one of the leading family-owned conglomerates in the Middle East region, Saif shared the reasons behind his decision to acquire the property. “When I think of a second home or a holiday destination, a few factors come to mind. The location should be easily accessible and not too far away. Above all, it should be safe and offer a sense of comfort,” he explained.
He found the concept of an island within an island quite luxurious and attractive. He called it a wonderful place to live and praised the scenic views, cuisine, and lifestyle, all of which influenced his decision to purchase the property. “I visited the property while working on a project, stayed there, and found it to be an extraordinary blend of privacy and opulence. The food and the thoughtfully designed menu added to the experience. In essence, it felt like a home away from home, which made my decision much easier,” he added.

This new home marks a positive turn in Saif’s life, especially after the distressing incident earlier this year when he was attacked at his Mumbai residence by a stranger, whose motive was suspected to be robbery. He had to undergo surgery to remove a knife fragment close to his spine but made a swift recovery and resumed work shortly thereafter.
Saif is preparing for a remarkable return to the screen. His next project, Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, is an exciting thriller that will premiere on OTT on April 25. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the film promises to deliver suspense and action.
