The news is just two days old since IOA has appointed SALMAN KHAN as a 'Goodwill ambassador' for Indian continent. Some of them think that it is a very good decision which will help attract more eyeballs to Rio Olympics 2016 and encourage youth in India whereas some think that Salman Khan's image and his contributions towards sports doesn't make him eligible for the same. What's your opinion?
The controversy raised when Olympic Icon Yogeshwar Dutt took twitter to express his disappointment on Salman being appointed as Goodwill ambassador.
Legendary Milkha Singh and Dhanraj Pillay too expressed their disappointment.
On the other side IOA is firm on their decision of Salman Khan as a Goodwill ambassador.
"We are very happy and thankful on Salman’s offer to support Olympic Sports in this country. This association is only a gesture and does not include any monetary consideration,”
"…our key objective of bringing him on board is to draw maximum attention from the masses, due to which there will be more eyeballs and viewership which will eventually result in popularising Olympic sports in the country. We may appoint more icons from other walks of life like music, cricket, art culture and Olympic sports etc".
- IOA Secretary General Rajiv Mehta said in a statement.
champions like Abhinav Bindra, Mary Kom and Sardar Singh also backed IOA saying
“Salman has a huge fan base. He has good views on sports and it’s a good thing for Indian sports that he has come on board. A lot of people are getting connected to Olympic sports because of him. (But) People are entitled to their views. I respect their opinion,” Sardar said.
“It hasn’t happened before, it’s a good thing for the athletes. It’s good for us to have a brand ambassador like him,” opined Mary Kom, a bronze-medallist from the 2012 London Olympics.
India’s first and only individual Olympic gold-medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra tweeted "Dear @BeingSalmanKhan, am sure you will use your tremendous goodwill to help Indian Olympic Sport and Olympic athletes in their pursuit towards excellence".
Salman is always known for his good work when it comes to helping others. He also has "Being Human Foundation" which does a phenomenal job of helping needy in Healthcare and Education.
The stories of the actor’s generosity are well-known. He helps the poor — donates his watches, money and even promises to build them homes. which makes him an influential man of the industry with a kind heart.
He is known as Box office SULTAN as he has given back to back 100 crs club films (Only actor to do so with almost 7 plus films) with his Bajrangi bhaijaan winning a National Award.
He is known for his Mass appeal with ability to connect with people located across remote places of India. He is equally popular among people across all age groups. He is the one who has started trend of Bodybuilding in India and inspired many.
So SALMAN KHAN as a Goodwill ambassador is definitely a very good choice to gain attention popularity for Rio olympics 2016.
We wish all the participants ALL THE BEST. Bharat Mata ki Jai.
