After the entire hubbub over their link-up, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra have been seen maintaing a safe distance. The two have been lying low, making sure they stay away from the quick eye of the paparazzi.

But now that Priyanka is all set to make her big music debut (read news), SRK could not stop himself, but praise his "friend".

"Priyanka has the capacity and talent to become the first crossover star from India, our first creative export. She has a super team backing her and she is truly an international brand and will make India very proud," Shah Rukh said in a recent interview.

Priyanka too openly thanked the superstar for his support and his belief in her writing, "Thank u @iamsrk..ur belief has always kept me going", on her microblogging page.
