India, Jan. 20 -- Renowned javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has tied the knot with Himani Mor in an intimate ceremony. The 27-year-old athlete surprised many by sharing images from his enchanting wedding on social media, which quickly garnered widespread attention. Before the event, Chopra had kept details about this significant milestone in his life relatively private, but the photos he posted soon went viral.

As reported by Sportstar, Himani Mor, originally from Larsauli in Haryana, completed her education at Little Angels School in Panipat. She earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Physical Education from Miranda House at Delhi University before pursuing further studies abroad.

She is currently working towards a Master of Science in sports management and administration at the McCormack Isenberg School of Management, having also attended Southeastern Louisiana University. In addition to her academic pursuits, she has experience as a part-time assistant coach for the tennis team at Franklin Pierce University. She is now managing the tennis team at Amherst College as a graduate assistant.

The Tokyo Olympics gold medalist announced his marriage on social media, alongside the wedding photos, stating, "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. "

Last year, Chopra made history by becoming the second male athlete from post-independence India to secure two Olympic medals in individual events, being the only Indian to achieve both a Gold in Tokyo 2020 and a Silver in Paris 2024.

Chopra's uncle, Bhim, confirmed to PTI that the wedding occurred in India and that the couple departed for their honeymoon. Mor is currently studying in the United States.

"Yes, the marriage took place in India two days ago. I cannot disclose the location," Bhim stated from his village in Chandra, near Panipat in Haryana. "The bride is from Sonipat and is studying in the US. They have left the country for their honeymoon."
