MUMBAI: Bollywood 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, Khan 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, Kaif quipped, "Is a controversy about Salman a new thing?" Kaif, however, refused to comment further on the issue. She was interacting with media at the wrap up party of Baar Baar Dekho, which also stars Sidharth Malhotra.
