Actor Tiger Shroff promoted his upcoming film Ganapath in Mumbai on Tuesday. The actor praised Kriti Sanon, his co-star in the Vikas Bahl directorial, for her National Award win. National Awards were conferred on Tuesday in Delhi by President Droupadi Murmu.

Remembering Kriti debuting in Hindi films with him in Heropanti in 2014, he said, “Kriti just won a National Award. In Heropanti woh chhoti bachi thi (she was a small girl), now she has become a superstar. I don’t know why this dialogue, ‘Chhoti bachi ho kya’ went viral… But I’m very happy, it has been an amazing experience working with Kriti Sanon, she has not changed. She has become such a big star and she is still the same, of how she was in ‘Heropanti’. We are working after nine years but it didn’t seem like that, it seems we just worked yesterday. Nothing has changed.”
