The Ek Tha Tiger co-stars, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have always been all praises for each other. The duo will be seen on the silver screen soon in Ali Abbas Zafar's next, Tiger Zinda Hai and will be working together after five years. Recalling his first meeting with Katrina, Salman said, "It was a small get-together. She had come home for a party and I thought she was one of the sweetest girls ever. She knew my sisters and all my friends, but she didn't know me."

Praising the Dabangg star, the actress said, "We all know that Salman has the kind of heart that loves to help people. But for me, the greatest strength was that he never tried to give me special treatment. He always encouraged me to stand up, find my own feet and work hard. I know people may not feel it that way but he really had a lot of belief in me and that for me was the most important thing."
