Katrina Kaif apparently feels that there is
nothing new about Salman Khan being embroiled in controversies. The
latest controversy in Sallu’s life started when he was recently
appointed as the Goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent for the
2016 Summer Olympics. Several members of the Indian sports fraternity
have questioned the selection of the actor as brand ambassador.
Allegedly, during the wrap up party of Baar Baar Dekho, Kat
was asked about alleged ex-boyfriend Salman being appointed as the
goodwill ambassador. And apparently she was quoted saying, “Salman ko
leke controversy hai woh naya cheez hai kya?”
A number of sports personalities are against the decision. 2012
London Olympics bronze medalist Yogeshwar Dutt made his displeasure
known through a series of tweets. He wrote, "Everybody has the right to
promote movies in India, but Olympics is not a place to promote films."
Milkha Singh too was not happy about the selection. He said, "India
has produced so many sportspersons who have given their sweat and blood
for the country like PT Usha, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Ajit Pal and
so many others. One of these could have been made a goodwill ambassador.
What was the need to import a person from Bollywood?" he asked. This
even made Sallu's dad Salim Khan lash out at Milkha Singh on Twitter!
But athletes such as Mary Kom feel that the Bollywood celebrity's
mass appeal would help raise awareness about Olympic sports ahead of the
Games in August. more info
