Paris: Indian athletes Neeraj Chopra and Manu Bhaker have become the talk of the town at the ongoing Paris Olympics.
Neeraj, the javelin throw star who secured two consecutive Olympic medals, and Manu, the shooting star who won two medals in a single Olympics, have significantly raised their profiles. On Monday, the duo’s close interaction during the Paris Olympics became a hot topic of discussion.
As they conversed, all the cameras turned towards them. The video of them talking, appearing a bit shy, quickly spread across social media.
Adding fuel to the fire, a moment where Manu’s mother was seen speaking with Neeraj, placing his hand on her head as if making a promise, sent social media into a frenzy.
Speculations soared to another level, with rumors suggesting that Neeraj is in love with Manu and that there might be a possibility of their marriage. Some even speculated that Manu’s mother might have requested Neeraj to marry her daughter.
However, what truly transpired between them remains unclear. Neeraj, who made history by winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics, secured a silver medal in Paris.
Meanwhile, Manu claimed two bronze medals in the 10-meter pistol event—one in the individual category and another in the mixed team event alongside Sarabjot.
