118 Indian athletes are taking part in the ongoing Olympics in Rio, Brazil. These athletes who have toiled for years to win an Olympic medal are carrying the pride and hopes of 130 crore plus Indians.
Amidst criticism that Indian government and Indian sports authorities have been grossly neglecting the poor state of affairs in Indian sports thereby not encouraging our athletes, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has come up with a noble offer.
Yesterday, Salman took to his Twitter page and tweeted "As a gesture of appreciation for our Olympic athletes, I will present each one with a cheque of Rs 1,01,000." Incidentally, Salman played the role of a wrestler who wins an Olympic medal in his biggest blockbuster, Sultan.
The 'Sultan' of Bollywood went on to say "The government is very supportive of sports . Each of us can also do our bit to encourage a sports nation". Salman's latest announcement is part of his association with the Olympic Gold Quest which is aiming to polish young athletes into future Olympic medalists.
