Salman Khan appointed Olympics Ambassador

    Divided opinion on Salman Khan being appointed as Goodwill Ambassador

    Salman Khan has been selected as goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent for the Rio Olmpics, which has caused a controversy with many people divided on their opinion about his selection. The whole affair got uglier after Salim Khan, Salman's father, lashed out at ex-sportsperson Milkha Singh for criticizing the 'Dabangg' actor's selection.

    Celebrities like actress - politician Kirron Kher and filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya have defended the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) decision to appoint superstar Salman Khan as the goodwill ambassador. "It is a very good decision. I am very proud of Salman Khan. All people who are trying to say that only a sportsman should be appointed as an ambassador, I would like to differ from them," Kirron said. Meanwhile ex flame Katrina Kaif said "A controversy with Salman, is it a new thing?".
