Salman Khan's appointment as
the Indian Olympic contingent's good will ambassador kicked up a storm
with the legendary athlete Milkha Singh opposing the decision. Following
the outrage from various quarters, Sachin Tendulkar and Abhinav Bindra
were also appointed as ambassadors. However, the outspoken Richa Chadha,
who will be seen in Sarbjit next, stood by Salman's choice. She
reasoned, “Let's look at the positive side. He is a goodwill ambassador.
No one is saying that he is a sportsperson. He is a fitness inspiration
and hero to many in the country not just because he is a leading actor
or a superstar. By virtue of attaching
his name to Olympics, if it helps sports in the country, why not? Not
that he is supporting racism or rape or dowry killing. He is supporting
something positive. We have more important issues to deal with than
getting upset over these things. Of course, I get Milkha Singh's point
but now that Salman has been chosen, let's look at the bright side.“
