Urvashi Rautela clarifies her statement

Urvashi admitted that she should have been "way more careful" with her answer regarding Saif.

"Also, the incident happened at 4 am, and my interviews were at 8 am. So, I was completely clueless. All I remember is that when I was waking up, someone told me that he got hurt. I don't know the intensity of how he got hurt. Coming from the film fraternity, all my heart is there with him. Now that he has recovered, even now I don't know the exact story of what happened. Everybody is telling a different story, so I don't know what to believe or what to answer."

She also explained that the interviews were intended to celebrate the success of 'Daaku Maharaaj', her Telugu film, and that's why she kept mentioning the film.

"I came back to my film 'Daaku Maharaaj' because the interviews were to celebrate its success. Unlike what some people think, I was not referring to that daaku (intruder) as a maharaaj. I love my parents; I feel they are my god. I got a bit too excited with the kind of gifts I got. Hum Hindi mai bolte hai na, josh mai hosh kho dena. Wahi hua mere saath." (As we say in Hindi, I lost my senses in the excitement, that's what happened.)

What did Urvashi say about Saif?

When asked about her views on Saif's stabbing at his Bandra residence, Urvashi told ANI, "It is very unfortunate. Now, 'Daaku Maharaaj' has crossed ₹105 crore at the box office, and my mother gifted me this diamond-studded Rolex, while my father gifted me this mini watch on my finger, but we don't feel confident wearing it outside openly. There is this insecurity that anybody can attack us. Whatever happened was very unfortunate."

Saif was attacked in his apartment by an intruder on January 17 and was stabbed multiple times.

After undergoing several surgeries for injuries near his spine and neck at Lilavati Hospital, he was discharged on January 21. He is now back home, and security has been increased.
