New Delhi: Neeraj Chopra continues to win hearts both with his achievements and his demeanour.

He also told his Indian admirers that he has to leave since his bus is waiting for him. The elderly man is heard encouraging Neeraj that he will reach the 90-metre mark on his next outing.

“Agli baar 90 se uppar jaayega (Next time, you will definitely throw over 90 metres),” the man said.

The now-viral video was shared on Twitter. In the short clip, the 24-year-old can be seen interacting and clicking photographs with a bunch of fans in Stockholm. Before leaving, he touched an elderly fan’s feet. One fan was even heard saying, “So down to earth.”
