Great gesture by Bhai!
Salman Khan, who is India’s Goodwill Ambassador for Rio Olympics 2016, recently made a very special announcement.
Bhai has decided to present each athlete who has represented India at the Rio Olympics with a cheque of Rs 1,01,000.
He made this announcement through a Facebook post that said, “As a gesture of appreciation for our Olympic athletes, I will present each one with a cheque of Rs1,01,000. The government is very supportive of sports. Each of us can also do our bit to encourage a sports nation. I admire the work that Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) is doing to shape tmrw’s champions. And also companies like Edelweiss, Jio and others who have come forward to support the Olympics.”
Earlier this month, Yashraj Films had also announced that it will honour Indian athletes who win gold at Rio with Rs one million.
