In the aftermath of the Paris Olympics 2024, where India celebrated significant athletic achievements, rumors have circulated about a potential romantic relationship between shooting star Manu Bhaker and javelin ace Neeraj Chopra. The speculation began after the two athletes were seen together at a post-Games event, sparking widespread discussion on social media.
During the event, which took place after the Olympics concluded, Neeraj Chopra was spotted interacting with Manu Bhaker and her mother. The nature of their interactions led many to speculate that marriage might be on the horizon for the duo. However, Manu Bhaker’s father, Ram Kishan, has addressed these rumors, putting them to rest.
In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Ram Kishan stated unequivocally, “Manu is still very young and not even of marriageable age. We are not thinking about it right now.” He emphasized that there are no current plans regarding marriage and that any speculation is unfounded.
Ram Kishan also highlighted the close relationship between Manu’s mother and Neeraj Chopra. “Manu’s mother considers Neeraj like her son,” he explained, underscoring the familial bond that exists between them. This affectionate connection has been misinterpreted by some as a romantic relationship, but Ram Kishan clarified that this is not the case.
Neeraj Chopra’s uncle also weighed in on the speculation, stating, “Just as Neeraj brought the medal, the entire country got to know about it. Similarly, when he marries, everyone will know.” His comments suggest that any future developments in Neeraj’s personal life will be announced publicly when the time is right.
Both Manu and Neeraj had notable performances at the Paris Olympics. Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals in shooting, becoming the first Indian to achieve such a feat. Neeraj Chopra, who had previously won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, secured a silver medal in javelin at the Paris Games.
As the excitement from the Olympics continues, it appears that the focus remains on their athletic achievements rather than personal speculations.
