The IOA’s joint secretary and India’s chef-de-mission for the Rio Games, Rakesh Gupta said, “Salman Khan should not have used this analogy to describe his shooting schedule. He should have given a different answer or cited some other example. This way he has hurt the image of Indian sports. This statement will have an adverse effect with the Rio Olympics fast approaching. He should immediately apologise for his remark.” Several other NGO’s and popular celebrities have asked him to apologies for the comment.
