Mumbai, May 5 (IANS) As a goodwill ambassador for India at the Rio Olympics, actor Salman Khan says “each and every sportsperson in the Indian Olympic team is a superstar”, adding that, they deserve “all our love, support and cheer”. Aiming to put the spotlight on athletes and energise fans to motivate them to be at their best, Salman has started a campaign to introduce the players with a tweet. “For me each and every sportsperson in the Indian Olympic contingent is a superstar.
