Salman Khan’s appointment as Goodwill Ambassador of Rio Olympics 2016 has sparked a controversy of sorts. Besides wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, Milkha Singh too expressed his displeasure over the choice, stating that a sportsperson would have been a fitting ambassador.

Now, Salim Khan has broken his silence and come out in the open to defend his superstar son.

In a series of tweets, the celebrated scriptwriter stated how Salman has been an “A-level swimmer, cyclist and weightlifter.”



Khan went a step further when it came to reacting to Milkha Singh’s statement. In a direct hit to the famed athlete, Khan posted how it was Bollywood that “resurrected” Milkha Singh and that sportspersons are admired only because of sports lovers.
