Jaideep has previously worked with Bebo in Jaane Jaan, which also starred Vijay Varma. Both actors share a good rapport. In a new interview with ANI, Jaideep, who reprised the role of Hathi Ram Chaudhary in Paatal Lok S2, said that he didn't have a direct conversation with the couple but he messaged them. The actor said, "Direct baat nahi hui but maine message kia tha unko."

Further, he urged the media to respect their privacy and give them space to cope with the incident. He added, "Ajeeb lagta hai dekhkar...I recently saw a video of a reporter chasing the actor's car in an unsafe way to get the visuals...it's so dangerous. Thoda bhaut sabko sochna chahiye."

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's special request

On January 21, Saif was discharged and he returned home. Soon after, Saif and Kareena requested the paparazzi not to click pictures of their kids, Taimur and Jeh due to security reasons. They even got extra fencing on their windows so no one could enter their house through the balcony.

Reportedly, Saif suffered an injury close to his spine, and a 2.5-inch blade was recovered. He underwent neurosurgery and plastic surgery. Currently, Mumbai Police is investigating the case. Recently, a man was arrested in connection to the attack. 

Meanwhile, on the day of his discharge, Saif Ali Khan met the auto driver who took him to the hospital. The actor thanked him and gave him some money as well. Saif also assured him to help whenever needed. Auto driver Bhajan Singh Rana, earlier told PTI, "He (Saif) introduced me to his mother (Sharmila Tagore), and I touched her feet. He gave me (money) whatever he felt was right, and said whenever I need help, he will be there."
