Mumbai, Apr 26: Actress Katrina Kaif, taking a friendly jibe at her former boyfriend Salman Khan over the row of his appointment as the goodwill ambassador of Indian Olympic Association, says the superstar is not new to controversies.

From 'chinkara' poaching allegation in 1998 to 2002 hit-and-run case, Salman has had an unending tryst with controversies.

The latest one came after some athletes, including legendary sprinter Milkha Singh, criticised the 50-year-old's appointment as the ambassador of the Indian contingent for the upcoming Olympics.

Singh said that sports, especially Olympics doesn't need Bollywood stars as ambassadors.

When asked about her take on the debate, Katrina quipped, "Salman Khan ko le kay controversy hai, woh naya cheez hai kya? (Is a controversy about Salman a new thing?)"

Katrina, however, refused to comment further on the issue.

The actress was interacting with the media at the wrap up party of "Baar Baar Dekho", which co-stars Sidharth Malhotra.

The film has been co-produced by Excel Entertainment and Karan Johar's Dharma Production.

Sidharth said he had no clue about the controversy but thinks the jury made the right decision.

"I don't know about the controversy but I think the people who have chosen, have chosen right, but I don't know much about it. I think he (Salman) is a man who is known for his fitness."

When asked about his opinion, Johar, did not make any direct comment and said, "I love Salman Khan. Whatever he does I think he is the best."

Yesterday, Salman's father Salim Khan defended his appointment, in a Twitter post.

"Salman may not have competed but is an A list swimmer, cyclist and weight lifter. Sportsmen are performing because of sports lovers like us."

Taking on Singh, Salim said, “Milkha ji, it's not Bollywood industry but the Indian film industry which is the largest in the world."

The former scriptwriter taunted Singh referring to his biopic, "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", as he wrote, "The same industry which resurrected you from fading away in oblivion."

Los Angeles, May 24: Hollywood star Salma Hayek says her daughter Valentina Pinault is a talented 12 year old who wants to be a director and star as a lead in a film one day.

The Oscar-nominated actor shares Valentina with husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Hayek said she has confidence in her daughter's abilities and believes she has a long way to go.

"She has so many talents. She draws, she wants to shoot movies - both as a director and as the lead - and she writes great pieces. Sometimes when I read her work, I have an urge to produce these stories.

"But she tells me that she will do it by herself when she's older. I don't know what's coming next for her but it seems that she has a lot of ways to go," the actor told HELLO! magazine.

Hayek, 53, added she is concerned about Valentina who has always lived a sheltered life.

"Valentina has always done what she wanted, I've never made her do anything and this means she hasn't yet learned how to oppose pressure, how to overcome obstacles.

"I know by experience that only the overcoming of some difficulties can lead you in the right direction," she said.
