When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Defended Salman Khan Saying “Anybody Who’s Doing Good…” After He Faced Backlash For Rio Olympics
The selection of Salman Khan for the Rio Olympics divided the nation, however, his father supported him
Salman Khan is known for being on the news for various reasons. In 2016 when the superstar was appointed as the goodwill ambassador of the Rio Olympics for the Indian contingent, the actor faced backlash as many questioned his selection. Sports personalities felt a sportsperson should have been appointed. Many came in support of Salman but one actress’s comment surprised everyone and it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
For the unversed, the two actors secretly dated for over 2 years, but never spoke about it. However, the alleged midnight stint of Khan at Aishwarya’s residence grabbed a lot of attention and then people came to know about their link up. They have often spoken about their ugly relationship and even accused each other of various things.
The selection of Salman Khan for the Rio Olympics divided the nation, however, his father supported him but later his comments were slammed by Pooja Bedi for being too derogatory. However, it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, whose comments surprised everyone and nobody thought that the actress would defend him.
During the same time, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan attended an event for L’Oreal where she was asked to share her views on the controversy surrounding Salman Khan. Defending the actor, Ash told, “Anybody who is doing good to represent the country and anybody who is working or seeking or standing out for whatever vocation we have in the country be it sports, arts or music, I think that’s wonderful and needs to be recognised.”
Soon after the issue fizzled out, Salman in an interview said that the controversy didn’t affect him at all and felt that it should go on for two-three weeks more. He said, “I just wanted this controversy to last long so that everyone gets to know about Rio Olympics. It fizzled out soon. When Sachin (Tendulkar), who plays cricket and Rahman (A R Rahman) who plays music, were made brand ambassadors, there was no controversy, which is disheartening.”
“Our generation knew about Olympics as in our books we used to have logo of the Olympics, but it’s not there today. Lot of people said I shouldn’t be there because of the court cases. Even though, there are cases in court, why can’t I be made the goodwill ambassador for Olympics? I am not convicted,” Khan added.
Currently, Salman Khan is busy with his multiple film projects, the actor is shooting Bhaijaan (earlier Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali), and he’ll soon start working on No Entry 2, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 and Kick 2. The superstar will be making a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan and Chiranjeevi’s Godfather.

3 Reasons Why Virat Kohli Is An Ideal Husband
In the tapestry of life, where moments are woven with threads of joy, sorrow, triumphs, and trials, there comes a rare instance when one thread shines brighter than the others, not because of its color or texture, but for the story it tells. This is the story of Virat Kohli, not the cricket maestro whose name echoes in stadiums worldwide, but Virat the man, the husband, whose life off the pitch resonates with a different kind of applause. In a world where the spotlight often blurs the lines between persona and person, Kohli stands as a beacon of normalcy, a reminder that beneath the layers of fame and fortune lies a human heart, beating in rhythm with the ordinary. His journey with Anushka Sharma, captured in fleeting moments like a simple stroll in London, where he holds shopping bags with the same ease he holds a cricket bat, speaks volumes. It’s not just about the act but the sentiment behind it – a silent declaration of partnership, equality, and love. Here, in these unscripted moments, we find Virat Kohli, not the icon, but the ideal husband, a role he plays with as much passion as he does his sport, reminding us all of the beauty in simplicity, the strength in support, and the power of love in its most human form. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma: Respect and Equality Virat Kohli’s relationship with Anushka Sharma is often cited as a model of respect and equality. In a world where gender roles can still dictate behavior, Kohli has consistently demonstrated that he views his partnership with Anushka as one of equals. Whether it’s publicly supporting her career moves or sharing household responsibilities, his actions speak volumes about his belief in partnership. The recent video of him carrying shopping bags while Anushka crosses the road is just one of many instances where he’s shown that he values her comfort and convenience as much as his own. This mutual respect is a cornerstone of any ideal relationship, making Kohli a role model for many. Support and Encouragement Kohli’s support for Anushka’s career and personal growth is another testament to his ideal husband status. From attending her movie premieres to publicly praising her work, he’s always been her biggest cheerleader. This support extends beyond professional life; Kohli has been vocal about how Anushka’s influence has helped him grow personally and professionally. His acknowledgment of her role in his life, especially in managing his mental health and career, highlights a deep, supportive partnership where both individuals uplift each other. This level of support is rare and deeply admired. Privacy and Protection In an era where every aspect of a celebrity’s life is under scrutiny, Kohli’s efforts to keep his family life private, especially concerning their children, Vamika and Akaay, show a protective side that resonates with the ideal husband archetype. He and Anushka have made conscious decisions to shield their children from the media glare, reflecting a commitment to their family’s well-being over public perception. This protective stance, coupled with his public displays of affection and respect towards Anushka, paints a picture of a man deeply committed to his family’s happiness and security. Virat Kohli’s portrayal as the ideal husband isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about the consistent, everyday choices he makes that prioritize his relationship with Anushka. His actions reflect a modern understanding of marriage where respect, support, and privacy are paramount. While no relationship is perfect, Kohli’s approach to his marriage sets a benchmark for what many aspire to in their own partnerships. His journey with Anushka, filled with mutual growth, respect, and love, continues to inspire fans and followers worldwide, making him not just a cricketing legend but a figure of admiration in the realm of personal relationships.
