Two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra recently tied the knot with his partner Himani Mor in an intimate ceremony in Himachal Pradesh, attended by close family and friends. The renowned javelin thrower shared the joyous news with his fans on social media on Sunday, posting a heartfelt message alongside a photo album of the occasion.
In his post, Neeraj expressed his gratitude for this new chapter in his life: "Starting a new chapter of life with my family. Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together. Bound by love, happily ever after," his caption read.
Neeraj's uncle also confirmed that a reception party will be held soon to celebrate the marriage.
Himani Mor, originally from Sonipat, Haryana, attended Little Angels School, the same institution as Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal. She is currently pursuing her Master’s in Sports Management and Administration at the McCormack Isenberg School of Management in Amherst, Massachusetts.
This marriage marks the second high-profile wedding in Indian sports in recent months, following the wedding of Olympic medallist PV Sindhu in December. Neeraj’s wedding is another significant event for the Indian sporting community, showcasing the personal milestones of athletes who have brought the nation great pride.
Neeraj Chopra, who made history as the first Indian to win an Olympic medal in athletics, has enjoyed an illustrious career. His remarkable victory in the men's javelin competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics earned him India's first-ever gold medal in athletics, and he followed it up with a silver at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 27-year-old is also the reigning world champion and was the winner of the 2022 Diamond League. In addition, Neeraj has claimed gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and is a two-time Asian Games gold medallist. His achievements in track and field continue to inspire millions and solidify his place among India's greatest athletes.
