From what I gather he is going to help keep the morale up.

Salman is neither an athlete or a coach.

It is no secret that he has taken performance enhancing drugs.

So why him.

What exactly is his purpose as a goodwill ambassador.

He has taken steroids. He ain't an athlete or former athlete so what knowledge can he give to athletes that will help them win.
If he is just going there to meet and great that is fine but helping athletes win.

HOW?

Had it been any other actor SRK perhaps would you be asking the same question?

Well we will never know will we?

Everyone knows there are way too many other well established and accomplished athletes to choose from so my question goes to the government.Why Salman for a sport event?

Would people be OK if Milkha Singh is sent for an opening for a Movie festival representing India because a movie has been made about is life?

If it was any Bollywood actor I would ask the same question.

He was chosen coz Salman is hugely popular in India n mostly among masses so that will gain some viewership to Olympic matches as he is been associated with Olympics.

That's what even I wonder. Agreed that Salman is popular. But isn't Sachin Tendulkar popular too? Sania Mirza? Kapil Dev? Milkha Singh himself even more popular than Salman? They are known world wide when we refer to sports in India. Wouldn't they be more preferred when it comes to a sports personality?

Dang...Even Virat and Dhoni would be better to represent our country for Olympics.

Just because of Sultan, they feel Salman will be a good ambassador may be 😆 Then Priyanka would have been a better option after Mary Com 😆

Because Indians will ONLY watch Olympics if Sallu is associated with it. 😆 All these past years, nobody in India watched Olympics. 😆

Because he has major political connections who are helping him clean up his image even further after the court cases... and also helping him promote his upcoming movie.
