When asked who his “absolute favourite” co-star is, Salman Khan was initially coy enough to say no one, only to end up talking about Katrina Kaif for a full two minutes. During an interview with a leading daily, Khan spoke all sorts of wonderful things about his 'Tiger Zinda Hai' co-star. Calling her “lovely” and “hard working”, he said, “I've had a great time working with Katrina Kaif. She's lovely. She's working so hard in the film that I feel... uff. She's lika humma. She keeps on working, working, and working. So when you will actually see the action sequences, she has done it like on a different level altogether. She has done most of her stuff by herself and kind of risky stuff as well.”
And once the Kat praises began, there was reportedly no stop for a while. “It was all very tiring because where we shot it was like 50 to 55 degree Celsius. After shooting all day, she would play cricket for an hour and volleyball for an hour. She would do pilates and then workout in the gym. She learned to play tennis too, so an hour-and-a-half would be spent on tennis. Five to six hours she would just be at it and we wondered where she'd get that kind of energy from,” he said.
The actor's fondness for the 'Chikni Chameli' actress is widely known. Both of them have starred in several films together, like 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya', 'Partner' and 'Yuvvraaj'. Their pair has long been cherished by fans, thanks to their enviable chemistry. First song of their upcoming 'Tiger Zinda Hai', 'Swag Se Karenge Sabka Swagat' was released last week. The sequence which was shot in the picturesque location of Greece, has already garnered lot of attention with Salman's macho avatar and Katrina's svelte moves.
