Saif Ali Khan expressed his sadness at the Preity- Ness mess that has sent shockwaves through the film industry. Saif who shares an excellent rapport with Preity having worked with her in hit films like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Salaam Namaste told us that he was not surprised on hearing the molestation charges levelled by Preity. "Nothing these days surprises me anymore." When we asked if he would be standing beside Preity in this issue, Saif said, " I am friends with both of them. I am sad that this has happened and I hope they sort it out between themselves. They both are friends and I want both of them to stay happy." Saif had a few good words for Ness who has been facing brickbats in this case. "I am friends with Ness too. I went to school with him. He is a wonderful gentleman." Well, we hope for goodness sake the former lovers settle this mess soon.
