Bollywood filmmaker Kabir Khan today heaped praise on superstar Salman Khan saying the superstar is a "great person who values relationships".

Kabir has directed Salman in two blockbuster films 'Ek Tha Tiger' and 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.

"I have known Salman closely. We have done two films. But before that he has helped me for my previous films also...he has supported me. He is a great person. He values relationship. I enjoy spending time with him even off the sets," Kabir told reporters here at the Big Star Entertainment awards here last night.

Recently, the 'Dabangg' star was acquitted by the Bombay High Court of all the charges in the 2002 hit and run case and Kabir is happy for him.

"I am happy for him. I don't think one needs to talk too much about the verdict and legal situation. As an individual and as a friend I am happy for him. I am sure he is relieved," he added.
