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.
As a gesture of appreciation for our Olympic athletes, I will present each one with a cheque of Rs1,01,000.

@NN : I think you need to test your eyes first. Go to page # 1 comment section and show me one comment of any Salman fan mentioning SRK before @Real Bhai FAN (bot) @bicky and @sss comments. I will leave Indicine or become SRK fan forver and I am talking about only this article, so if you or your srkian mates keep initiating fights we will retaliate. Some Salman fans will also visit SRK articles and will bash him and his fans. Ukha@d le jo ukh@ad naa hai !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
