Uh oh. Had you not watched his match, you would have gotten a free pass to be dismissive about him. Missed opportunity.

P.S. Just to let some folks here know, there was tremendous hype around Olympics 2012 in India. People have tuned into watch the matches and DO remember the names of all the personalities who brought medals to our country. Just throwing light on a scenario, where people turn over newspapers and tune into news channels and show interest in all the sports events like Olympics, Asian games and even Commonwealth.

GS- It's not about B-towners not working hard. Nobody questions their brand or selling point. They have mass appeal. But it's the bollywoodization in places like such sports which I object. Such sports hardly get mileage and then you have B-towners hogging the lime-light and taking whatever little credit.

Nobody is forcing you to love who you want? Deffo not an internet post. How is us dissing over utilization of bollywood in such situation linked to what these filmstars do.

Case in point- The people you named got stripped of endorsement s, their medals taken. If a cheat is found in any sport, his medals, reputation is taken away. Ban is implemented. None of such actions happen in B-town. If we really want to talk about corruption or morality.

You have Azhar banned for match fixing, yet b-town will sell his story.-Difference.

What are good will ambassador job/duties ?

@GS-Fair enough. But we cannot also disagree that most often than not the b-towners steal the brand and the buzz. You gave Ranbir's example, how many of his fans can name the players of his team? The ones who score goals. He is the owner that is different. Same is with SRk , coz none of his players , atleast cricketers need SRK to buzz. Ganbhir , Wasim are big names themselves. AB Jr owns a Kabaddi team, he contributed to the sport like the rest of them .

You know whats funnier? No one takes offence if ppl ask who is P.T.Usha? Who is Yogeshwar? Who is Abhinav Bindra? etc. But all hell breaks lose if Sharapova asks 'who is Sachin?' Or if Flintoff asks 'who is Amitabh'? Kyun bhai? Are ppl not allowed to not know your cricketers and superstars? 😆

Even if you haven't watched his matches/ don know who he is, it is not tough to google and check out who this person is..Takes less than a minute..This has nothing to do with Salman/SRK..The sheer disrespect for sportsmen in this country (basically anyone who is not a cricketer or an actor) is baffling..Its sad that SRK is respected more for a CDI than most hockey players combined in this country..And a Salman will be respected for a Sultan than every wrestler combined..Its useless blaming anyone here..Thats how all of us are and thats how India is..Only movie stars and cricketers are respected😆

That's actually quite debatable. It's been seen time and again that if Indian population sees any chances of victory on an international platform, they end up getting thrilled for any sport. Indians love for cricket goes a long way but Badminton has its own admirers. Prakash Padukone, Pullela Gopichand and now Saina and Kashyap. They have their own set of followers. The thing with other sports like wrestling is sustaining interest is a bigger issue, generating is not that big of a problem. It has just started gaining solid prominence nationwide and it requires a lot of nurturing at this point. It's unfair to dismiss the junta for not giving them importance, coz it aint the case. People do follow the Indian particiipation in these huge sports events. Off late, the interest has gotten deeper as we started winning more medals. Having said that, sports with Individual representation end up having a greater chance of gaining fame, like say tennis and even chess as in the case of Anand (If one proves their talent).
