Viral Video: Neeraj Chopra and Manu Bhaker, two of the most popular athletes in India, who recently returned home from Paris Olympics 2024, find themselves at the helm of a social media frenzy. There have been at least two videos in circulation that have triggered massive speculation around a love link between the two.
Sumedha Bhaker’s Gesture Sparks Speculation
One of the most viral videos shows Manu Bhaker’s mother, Sumedha Bhaker, putting her hand on Neeraj Chopra’s head, probably blessing him or doing something symbolic. That moment has certainly added more fuel to the rumors about Neeraj Chopra and Manu Bhaker being in a love story or maybe even heading into some formal commitment.
Social media users have picked up the clips as a sign of a budding relationship, and some have even wondered if marriage could be on the cards. Taking the grapevine by its word, Sumedha Bhaker had Neeraj Chopra make a casual promise to her – not taking tension, getting enough rest and not being unduly negative in his approach. There was also a question about his feelings towards her daughter and Chopra, feeling quite sheepish, allegedly answered that he had nothing of that sort in his mind.
Professional Success Amidst Personal Speculations
It is important to note that such discussions are based on social media claims—not confirmed reports. We have not verified these rumors, and the content should be treated with caution.
At the athletic end, both Chopra and Bhaker did very well at the Paris Olympics. Manu Bhaker secured bronze medals in single and mixed team shooting events, which at once made her the first Indian athlete to have won two medals at a single Olympics. On his part, Neeraj Chopra took home silver in the Javelin throw, just missing out on defending his gold from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but continued doing the best with a throw of 89.45 meters.
Where it is just their professional achievement alone that is celebrated, the personal speculations swirling around them create an intriguing layer to the stories of already remarkable individuals.
