Mufti, who was present in Mumbai to promote tourism in her state and a trailer launch of a film “Sargoshiyan” by actor-turned-director Imran Khan, urged all Mumbaikars to visit Kashmir this year.
When asked if she wanted any Bollywood actor to become the brand ambassador of the state tourism, Mufti told the media: “Given a chance, I would like to choose Salman Khan to promote tourism there.”
