Seems some of us were taken in by false reports in sections of the media that Saif Ali Khan has paid for his ex-girl friend Rosa's apartment and other expenses in suburban Mumbai.

Saif, currently shooting in Dubai for Abbas-Mustan's Race dismisses the rumours of his overt gesture as absolutely untrue.

So what is the origin of rumours?

According to a source, "It suits the lady in question to create the impression that Saif is still a part of her life. Before Rosa left for her home in Europe after their split, many of Saif's so-called friends from the film industry swore to support her and promised that she'd have opportunities galore waiting for her when she returned to Mumbai. However her comeback to Bolly-land has been a downer. Besides a TV show, Rosa has no offers waiting for her. No one in the industry would want to antagonize Saif. Not that he doesn't wish her well. But Saif is certainly not going to pay Rosa's bills. And the lady herself wouldn't want it."

So who is doing the tongue wagging about Saif? "Not Saif for sure," adds his friend. "Saif is too busy putting his own finances in place to worry about other's monetary matters. He's starting a production house, buying a new home and looking into his children's welfare."
