The Paris Olympics 2024 had seen Bhaker winning two bronze medals, while Chopra secured a silver in javelin throw. Their achievements were celebrated, but it was the viral video of Chopra with Bhaker's mother that took centre stage
In the aftermath of the Paris Olympics 2024, where India secured six medals, whispers and rumours have emerged, sparking curiosity across the nation. Star shooter Manu Bhaker, who proudly bagged two bronze medals, and Neeraj Chopra, India's golden boy in javelin who secured a silver medal, have found themselves at the centre of unexpected speculation.
In an interview with News18, Manu Bhaker directly addressed these swirling rumours. The Paris Olympics 2024 had seen Bhaker winning two bronze medals, while Chopra secured a silver in javelin throw. Their achievements were celebrated, but it was the viral video of Chopra with Bhaker's mother that took centre stage.
The video, which depicts Bhaker’s mother engaging in a seemingly intimate conversation with Chopra, fueled public speculation about a possible marriage between the two athletes. However, Bhaker has firmly denied these claims.
"I've heard these rumours, but let me clarify—there is nothing to them," Bhaker stated. "The video was taken out of context. I was not present during that conversation between my mother and Neeraj, so I can’t comment on what exactly was said."
Bhaker elaborated that while she and Chopra have had interactions since 2018 through various events and competitions, their conversations have remained professional. "We do exchange a few words at events, but nothing beyond that. The rumours of a relationship are simply not true," she asserted.
The speculation reached a fever pitch when the video was widely shared on social media, leading fans and media alike to jump to conclusions about a possible engagement. Bhaker’s candid remarks aim to quell the speculation and set the record straight.
In the world of sports, where personal lives often intertwine with professional achievements, the line between reality and rumour can blur. For now, Bhaker and Chopra remain focused on their respective careers, and Bhaker's recent clarification offers a clear message: there’s no substance to the marriage rumours.
