Salman Khan to present Rs 1.2 crore to Olympic Athletes

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is India’s goodwill ambassador for the Rio Olympics, will be presenting Indian Olympic athletes with cheques of Rs 1,01,000 each.

Since the country has sent a record 118 athletes to Rio this year, the total amount that Salman would be presenting as a ‘gesture of appreciation’ would be nearly Rs 1.2 crore.

The actor, who was recently seen in a sports-based film ‘Sultan’, said the government is supportive of sports and each one of us should do our bit to encourage sports in the nation.

  • at the time when srk donate 1cr for flood relief Chennai victims and news came by official of cheif minister office after 2-4 days later and he was not tweeting like this. but all chameleon salu fan barked that he did it for publicity and now it became golden heart bhaai for u haha…. keep it up well gesture bhaai . plzzz teach your fans that how to became being human

  • I think all those Salman haters who were saying that he became rio ambassador because of sultan should note that sultan has already done its business and is out of theatres then i ask them why is he giving token of appreciation now? If this is not sincerity and support then i don’t know what actually is?

  • @indicine is sultan running in the theatres in its 7th week? What is the final ww collections of the film? has it crossed the 590 cr mark?

    Abey idiot its not like he wanted to spend 100cr on proving his cases bit thats what he needed to spend in order to prove his innocence…! but

    It was unfortunate for him that his cases were presided, well tragically by the pro Pluto Queen judicial/ legal establishment who kept dragging him back to ourt for decades on false fabricated trumped up charges…! Theres a difference here between bhai fighting for his freedom n your Wankhede Stadium Hooligan who used his immense wealth for a direct resolution to save time in his criminal cases via mass bribery…!

  • Pluto King should send the athletes a dvd copy of his Diwali 2014 classic Crappy New Year…!

    According to our resident complan drink expert Complan Boy, the films patriotic angle n biggest patriotic song EVER would deeply motivate them to do better next time…!

  • @8:25pm Real Lungi FAN

    Yes our bhai is responsible for Indians not getting any awards/ medals/ honours/ recognition at the International level ie Olympics so by applying that logic should he be credited for helping Indians who do win intl awards/ medals/ /honours/ recognition…? Perhaps its bcoz of bhai that a certain pankha salesman from paglaur keeps buying sorry getting all those mickey mouse awards/ medals/ honours/ recognition overseas…?

  • Very good.but if this gesture was done by Shahrukh Khan then haters will tell publicity stunt,attention seeker and blah blah.

  • @Aunt : Your blabbering makes no sense. Better continue with your job of babysitting.
    That really suits you, expert views on contemporary issues don’t!

    No u r wrong dude
    SRK too has done donations from his sides
    In year 2012, he adopted 12 villages during NDTV’s show Greenathon, and even no Indian politician has ever dared to do this. He is the one who is providing electricity, water, education, medicines and all other basic needs at his own expenditures. There is one organization, called Make A Wish foundation, which works for physically disabled kids. Shah Rukh not only provides huge funds to this organization but also meets these kids whenever he could. These kids visit him at his home Mannat and SRK only arranges all this. He has donated India’s one of the most technically advanced Cancer ward to Leelawati hospital where poor are being served. The list of his donations and charity is so long that this article will never end. Therefore to summarize whatever he has done, I will say that he is the ONLY Indian to receive an award from UNESCO for his hidden charity work. Yes, ONLY Indian.

    Now let us come to patriotism. If you people remember after 26/11, he was called at India Gate to present a speech and if you heard it you will agree with me that it was one of the most patriotic speech you ever heard. Some people ask why he is the only one who gets detained at American Airports. So, first of all, he is not the only one, as even ex Indian President Mr. Abdul Kalam went under the same procedure and recently Baba Ramdev too had to undergo the same. That is a procedure and is it wrong to follow it like a common man instead of showing off? He should be a role model for this. And one more thing, he is one of the highest tax payer Bollywood actor who always pays his tax before time. Some people still call him Tax chor

  • The hyderabadi weatherman sorry pankha repairman has worked out that bhai has spent 100cr proving his innocence through legal fees but can he work out how much his fav pankha salesman has spent on bribes over the yrs ensuring his criminallity never reaches court…?!?!?

    Maybe its 1234cr…?

  • @rejan

    No you wrong- only he makes the most noise about him getting strip searched at US airpprts even though to be fair to US officials he himself starts stripping despite never being asked to do so…!

  • @10:43pm ratZone

    Here comes the bride sorry the husband whose wife complan boy doesnt make any ounce of sense in her essay like rants…!

    The only sense one will ever find in your wifes essays is the sense in the the word nonSENSE which is the only conclusion one can draw from attempting to read her blabbering…!

  • @ratZone

    I like how you mentioned babysitting bcoz I bet thats exactly how those prison officers at Tihar feel like each n every day coming to work n having to babysit you n your precious wife Complan Boy…!

  • ROFL , Yet another drama from Salman to cover up his on going cases. Now his advocates will bring this point in court just like they brought his Being Human activities to cover up the Hit and Run case….

  • Clearly evident how the husband n wife tagteam from Tihar are immensely jealous of bhai fighting for his freedom bcoz combined they couldnt even spend 100rs on their defence cases…!

    Wouldnt have mattered coz I hear the cases against them were so strong that even their own defence lawyers offered bribes to the judge to impose the maximum sentence available- life imprisonment without bail…!

  • When the Tihari prisoners come here n start blabbering nonSENSE about the legal susyem then you know without doubt that the legal system is completely weak…!

    Such prisoners should have been given not just life sentences but also be ordered to serve those sentences in solitary confinement without access to the outside world ie no internet…!

  • Othrs donate some amount to winners bt Salman gonna donate evry athlete who participated n represented our country love u bhaijaan :)

  • @spamzone 10:41pm

    The proclamation may encourage others to do something for Indian sports. But you don’t understand it…akhir loongiwala Jo thehra..

    And Loongiwalas blabbering like ‘India is not winning any medal only bcz of Salman’ make lot of sense. Right???
