While Saif was at the Leelavati Hospital last night, undergoing tests, media flocked outside speculating on
his condition; and visitors kept showed up to express their concern for the actor.
Speculation
about a heart attack had sent shock waves across the media resulting in sleepy journalists turning up in
their night suits with microphones.
Bollywood was well-represented, with actors coming straight from award functions, parties and sets. Soha
Ali Khan who stayed back with Saif till late in the night was the first to arrive only to be escorted out by
Sudhir Mishra later.
Before leaving, she gave an official statement to the press saying that it
wasn't a heart attack and that Saif was out of danger.
Pradeep Sarkar, Sanjay Dutt, Kunal Kohli, Amitabh Bachchan with bahu-to-be Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta,
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Zayed Khan and John Abraham, amongst others, came to the hospital to enquire
about Saif's health.
Fardeen and Natasha visited too. Salman and Govinda came together in the
former's car (with Salman behind the wheel). Then came Arbaaz Khan with wife Malaika, Amrita Arora with
Usmaan Afzal and Subhash Ghai.
Mom Sharmila Tagore's arrival was eagerly awaited. It seemed she had boarded a flight from Delhi at around
10 pm.
