Salman Khan will continue as the Goodwill Ambassador of Rio Olympics – India Contingent

After receiving a huge backlash for his “raped woman” comment, there were rumours that the Indian Olympic Association’s top officials were pretty upset with Salman Khan and had been rethinking over their decision of making Salman as the Goodwill Ambassador of Rio Olympics – India Contingent. But the latest news on this rumour is that Salman Khan will continue to be the Goodwill Ambassador of the Rio Olympics – India Contingent.

This year, when Salman was appointed as the ambassador, not many people were happy with the decision, especially sports personalities and Olympians who felt that making a Bollywood star as the Goodwill Ambassador was a wrong decision. So with Salman’s recent remark, the rumours mills went abuzz with the officials are deciding to do away with Salman. But, it seems like the officials have decided to stand by the actor and have no plans of changing.

It so happened that Salman who went through a rigorous shooting schedule for his character of a wrestler in his upcoming flick ‘Sultan’ recently said that after the rigorous and physically daunting schedules he felt like a “raped woman” who couldn’t walk properly. This remark wasn’t taken well by many people. In fact, Salman’s father Salim Khan apologised on Twitter on his behalf but Salman hasn’t yet apologised for his comment.
