Mumbai: Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan was all praise for his "Kaabil" co-star Yami Gautam and said it was an enriching experience for him to work with her.

"She is not only a great actor but as a human being, she has the abundance of innocence and courage to be vulnerable," he said during an interaction with the media on "Kaabil" on Tuesday.

"As an actor, it is important to have the courage to be vulnerable because only then you can express your emotions," Hrithik said.
