The star sprinter from Assam, Hima Das, who was recently summoned by her coach to training camp, is still getting busy this weekend in the State Bank of India’s YONO Shopping Festival.

Hima Das, who won three medals including a gold in the Asian Games held at Jakarta, has drawn criticisms for getting herself busy in promotional events.

But the new track sensation, who has been advised by her fans and well-wishers, has recently been roped in by the State Bank of India (SBI) as their brand ambassador to promote YONO.

To promote SBI’s YONO, Hima Das on her Twitter handle on Saturday stated that there are “irresistible offers” on all her “favourite brands”.

Hima Das is also the brand ambassador of Adidas.

Sprinter Hima Das tweeted: “The YONO Shopping Festival is keeping me busy this weekend! With irresistible offers on all my favourite brands where else would I be? Have you checked it out yet?”

But all her Twitter followers are not happy at Hima Das getting busy with just promoting her brands.

Some of them have suggested her to advise the companies with whom Hima has signed contracts to use her official account less to promote the brands.

One of her Twitter followers (Sonia Minocha) tweeted:  “We follow you and like to keep a track. But, I think the brands that have signed you can be advised to promote less about themselves from your official account. Maybe update us more about yourself and your practice routine as well. Best wishes!”
