New Delhi: After the Olympics, netizens have turned their attention to matchmaking. A video of Manu Bhaker’s mother, Sumedha Bhaker, meeting Neeraj Chopra has given them enough fodder. The two met in Paris and footage of the meeting has gone viral on social media.
Another footage of Neeraj Chopra in a conversation with Manu Bhaker has taken the internet by storm.
Both Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra belong to Haryana. The video of the two athletes talking to each other in Paris has got over a million views on X
Shooter Many Bhaker scripted history in Paris by becoming the first Indian to win two medals at a single edition of the Olympic Games – she won bronze medals in women’s 10m air pistol and finished third, alongside Sarabjot Singh, in 10m air pistol mixed team event. On the other hand, Neeraj Chopra won a silver medal in men’s javelin, four years after he bagged a gold in the Tokyo edition of the Games.
Manu Bhaker represented India at the closing ceremony of the Paris Games. She was slated to be accompanied by Neeraj Chopra but the athlete, along with the Indian Olympic Association, agreed that PR Sreejesh would be a better fit for the role.
