Mumbai: Former VJ Mini Mathur says her husband Kabir Khan manages to see superstar Salman Khan in incredible roles. Mini said: "I think Kabir likes to imagine Salman in stories that nobody has seen him before. He is an incredible actor."

Mini, dressed in a sari, spoke to media at a festive preview pop-up fashion show on Thursday here. The event was attended by actresses like Sana Khan and Huma Qureshi. Salman is all set to star in the sequel to Kabir's "Ek Tha Tiger". The film will be called "Tiger Zinda Hai", and is expected to release on Christmas 2017.

How does Kabir manage to convince Salman? Mini said: "I feel story is the king. If Salman likes the story, he says yes immediately. If he does not like the story, then he won't agree at all." The former "Indian Idol" host also shared about the experience of being wife of a director, who has made films like "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and "Phantom".

She said: "A director usually discusses things about a film to his wife. Like, I am going to write it, I got the actors etc. I have been pretty much a part of it (a film)." She added: "Kabir never makes a film thinking about awards or expectations. He will make what he wants to. I think only those films work which are made from the heart and without any expectations."
