A day after Saif Ali Khan was discharged, pictures of the auto-rickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana posing with the Bollywood star in the hospital before he left for home started to do the rounds on social media.

Rana was the one who took Saif to Lilavati hospital on January 16 after the Bollywood star was stabbed multiple times during a robbery attempt in his house in wee hours.

Saif along with his veteran-actress mother Sharmila Tagore, expressed their gratitude towards Rana.

According to sources, Saif praised the rickshaw driver for his work and said, “Keep helping others like this. And as for the fare that day, don’t worry, it will be taken care of.”

He jokingly added, “If you ever need help in life, remember me.”

When Rana was asked how he reached the hospital, as all the media personnel were present, he said, “I entered the hospital wearing a mask.”

The auto rickshaw driver said that he had first got a call from Saif’s personal assistant.

He said that he “just prayed” that the actor gets well.

“I took a few selfies with him. I took a few photos with him.”

The driver recalled the night, when Saif was stabbed and said that the actor asked him to drive slowly as it was a “little painful”.
