Salman Khan, Mary Kom

Salman Khan, who has been criticised over his appointment as the Goodwill ambassador of India's Olympic contingent, turned to Twitter to share a picture of himself with boxer Mary Kom, above.

'Mary Kom. Boxer, MP, winner . @MangteC brings a winning attitude to all her work,' Khan tweeted.

Thanking Abhinav Bindra for believing in him, he added: 'Thx @Abhinav_Bindra will do my best.'

Meanwhile, his father Salim Khan reacted to Milkha Singh’s comments and wrote: ‘Milkhaji it is not Bollywood it is the Indian Film Industry and that too the largest in the world. The same industry which resurrected you from fading away in oblivion.’

'Salman khan may not have competed but is an A level swimmer cyclist and weight lifter. Sportsmen are performing because of sports lovers like us,' he added in a series of tweets.

Paresh Rawal ‏also took to Twitter to support Salman and tweeted: ‘Celebs are roped in for spreading awareness n generating interest!mr Amitabh in the polio campaign ! Hope this answers Salman controversy ! Lot of stars are part of promoting sports like hockey n kabaddi n soccer...so what's wrong if Salman roped in for Olympic!!!!’

Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt wrote: ‘Whether the film Industry resurrected Milkha Singh or whether Milkha Singh resurrected the film industry is an absurdly, distasteful debate. Could the film be made if Milkha Singh wasn't the man he was & did not achieve what he did in the first place? We all know, NOT. Hence, respect.’
