It is 3 am in New York and actor Saif Ali Khan has just packed up after a hard day's shooting of Siddartha Anand's Tara Rum Pam. How's it going? "It's going great," he says, assuring us that all, including his relationship with girlfriend Rosa and his equation with actress Rani Mukherjee is well.
Humour intact, Saif gets into grimmer ground and says, "I've heard rumours about Rosa and me splitting, and that she has gone back home to Mumbai before me after a huge fight. For God's sake, we're doing well for ourselves as a couple. Do we need these rumours to come and spoil things between us? I guess every relationship conducted in the limelight is subjected to such scrutiny. I can take that. But it gets a bit annoying when we need to time ourselves according to others' demands. We can't help it if people think our relationship is in trouble. The fact is that we're very happy together."
Who does he attribute this piece of gossip to? He says, "Search me! It's probably the doing of those who need to get a life."
And, what about his showdown with Rani Mukherjee? "Am I mad to have a showdown with her? I mean, come on! Rani and I have shared a cordial professional relationship ever since we did Hum Tum together. That film will always remain special to me. It was my first solo-hero hit. I won't say Rani and I are close friends but we connect well on the sets. We do our work together and go our respective ways after that," he clarifies.
So where did these rumours sprout from? "I'll tell you their probable origin. When I arrived in NY I stayed with the rest of the Tara Rum Pam unit in the same hotel. But then when Rosa joined me I wanted to live in an apartment with her. I feel that's it's the only way to get to know a city. I've stayed in London and I know how much difference a private place makes. That's it. As soon as Rosa and I moved into an apartment, news spread that Rani and I were staying in separate hotels. That's truly dumb, man. And do you think we can get away with a showdown in front of the whole unit? We'd have had the details of the slaps and punches pasted on the Internet," he says.
