Katrina Kaif has always been somewhat vocal about the bond she shares with her Tiger Zinda Hai co-star Salman Khan. Most recently, the 34-year-old expressed her appreciation for Salman and stated how his faith in her was the most important thing, reported Pinkvilla.

Are Ranveer Singh and Katrina Kaif new BFFs in B-town?

"Salman taught me nothing other than learn for yourself," said Katrina. "His equation is different with everyone. Of course, we all know that Salman has a kind of heart and loves helping people but he never gave me special treatment. That in itself gave me strength. He always encouraged me to stand up, find my own feet and work hard."

She added, “He really had a lot of belief in me and that for me, was the most important thing."

The starlet went on to narrate a humorous incident between Salman and herself. “I had gone for an Anurag Basu film with Bhatt sahab where John Abraham was the hero. I was called for the first shot to play a ghost. The next day, I was told that I have been chucked out of the film.”

She continued, "I met Salman on the same day and bawled my eyes out. He just sat there and laughed, and I thought, ‘How could he be so mean? I’ve just been chucked out of my first film and he’s laughing.’ I thought my career was over.”

The Jagga Jasoos star went on to speak about how Salman truly portrayed his belief in her. “He sat there laughing and said, ‘You don’t understand… these things happen. You will see where you will go from here… just work hard.’ Although he didn’t have any real answers to my worries, he had the belief. It was that belief of one solid person that is very important when you’re just starting out,” she concluded.
