When Rani Mukerji asked if he had been scammed, Saif Ali Khan said, "I've been scammed myself, actually. It was all to do with property in Mumbai. So I bought something and they said 'You will have it in three years'. And I gave them lots of my money, about 70% of what I had earned till that time for this lovely big thing."

He continued, "I still haven't got it. I'm gonna get it I hope very soon but now that pandemic." Rani then asked if it was the house Saif was staying in now to which he replied, "No, no, no. It's an office space."
