Kareena Kapoor has said that Salman Khan is a sweetheart and the lifeline of the Hindi film industry.

The 31-year-old actress, who has worked with all the leading Khans of Bollywood, including her beau Saif Ali Khan and now Imran Khan, chose the 'Dabangg' star, when she was asked who her favourite among the Khans was.

Even at a function held previously, where she had to choose her favourite actor, Kapoor had picked Salman.
