Internet Desk: Shobha De’s love affair with the Rio Olympics is just not coming to an end. Earlier she had criticized India’s Olympics contingent’s performance at Rio Olympics, which witnessed a severe backlash, not just from the fans but also from several celebrities including Virender Sehwag and Abhinav Bindra.
Recently, Sachin Tendulkar had gifted BMWs to India’s Rio Olympic heroes, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik, Dipa Karmakar and Pullela Gopichand. Shobha saw this as a mere advertising campaign for BMW and launched a scathing attack on twitter.
Here's a small, annoying but pertinent question: Did Sachin T pay for the BMWs he 'gave away ' to Rio athletes?

Great ad for BMW. Who will pay for running these pricy beasts? Hoping they don't become white elephants for athletes pic.twitter.com/MX0od5sTt3
