Amongst actors, Hema Malini and Aishwarya Rai have supported the decision and find nothing wrong in IOA’s choice owing to the actor’s stardom and tremendous fan base. Meanwhile, from the Sports Fraternity, after Sunil Gavaskar, India’s ace footballer, Baichung Bhutiya has opined that there is nothing wrong in having Salman Khan as the ambassador as long as the star can thoroughly promote Olympics in India. He also pointed out that there is no point “blaming’ the actor and talking about it since Salman never went up to IOA and asked them to appoint him. He also said that it is an unfortunate fact but the common mass won’t follow the Games if someone as successful as Abhinav Bindra tries to promote Olympics- Salman has a mass appeal and would be able to attract more people towards himself and eventually the games.
