Actor Salman Khan has received support from an unlikely quarter in the ongoing controversy regarding his appointment as the goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent at Rio Olympics. The actor’s former girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has supported the Dabangg’ star’s appointment.

When asked what she, as a member of the film fraternity, feels about the ongoing controversy, the ‘Jazbaa’ actress said, “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.”

Well, we are sure that Bhaijaan’s fans would be delighted seeing Aishwarya come out in support of him.
