Salman Khan along with A.R Rahman and IOA officials gave a grand send-off to the Indian athletes at the event. Being an Indian brand ambassador, Salman made sure that he is present at the event for a great moral support to all the athletes. Both the celebrity stars, Salman and Rahman met the athletes and posed for the group picture along with them.

The list of attendees included tennis star Sania Mirza, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Vinod Tomar, Dipa Karmakar and table tennis star Manika Batra. A day ago Salman launched Sania Mirza’s autobiography in Mumbai  and the next day he was there for the talented lady to give her confidence and moral support before her journey to Rio. Sania Mirza will pair up with young Prarthana Thombare in women’s doubles and with Rohan Bopanna in mixed doubles at Rio Olympics 2016.

It was quite an amazing event for the all the athletes before moving for a big tournament of the year. Salman and A.R Rahman even encouraged them saying that nothing is impossible in this world, which rose up more confidence among them.
