New Delhi, Jan 19 (PTI) Javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra, one of India’s most eligible bachelors, tied the knot with tennis player Himani Mor couple of days back in an intimate ceremony that has taken everyone by surprise.
The 27-year-old Chopra announced the marriage with the 25-year-old Himani, who hails from Haryana’s Sonipat, on his social media handles.
“I began a new chapter of my life with my family. Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together. Bound by love, happily ever after,” Chopra wrote in a post with the pictures of the marriage ceremony.
Chopra’s uncle Bhim told PTI that the marriage took place in the country and the couple has left for honeymoon.
Mor is currently pursuing Sports Management (Major) at the Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire. She is an alumni of Delhi’s Miranda House where she completed her bachelors degree in Political Science and Physical Education.
“Yes, the marriage took place in India two days back. I can’t tell the place where it took place,” Bhim told from his village at Khandra near Panipat in Haryana.
“The girl is from Sonipat and she is studying in the US. They have left the country for honeymoon and I am not aware of the places where they are going. We wanted to keep it like that,” said Bhim, who stays with the Olympic double medallist at Khandra, when asked about the surprise development.
According to the All India Tennis Association (AITA) website, Himani’s carrer best national ranking was 42 in singles and 27 in doubles in 2018. She started playing in 2018 only in AITA events.
