Salman Khan played Sonam Kapoor's love interest in her first film Saawariya. Little did she know at that time that six years later, the biggest director for family dramas, Sooraj Barjatya would cast her in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo opposite the same Salman, a superstar her father has worked with several times and known for the longest time. Sonam was Sooraj Barjatya's first choice and that makes Sonam feel very proud. Talking about working with Salman, she says, “It was quite amazing working with him as he is an extremely kind and a really nice guy. Everyday, we would have lunches together outside his van and I loved the whole community feeling and bonding that would happen. I like the fact that he is hard working and that he is still idealistic and not cynical. Usually, cynicism comes with time, experience and more importantly, with success. But he is still idealistic. The whole 'Being Human' shows that idealism. Once, I wanted him to wish one of my girls on her birthday and join us in her cake-cutting. He is such a kind human being, he immediately joined us.''
