KEY POINTS
- A video of Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra’s recent interaction has sparked speculation about their possible wedding.
- The javelin thrower had a separate chat with the shooter’s mother, further fueling the wedding rumours.
- Both the Chopra family and the Bhaker family have shed light on the situation, explaining the dynamics of the relationship.
“Rishta pakka (the match is decided),” said one X user after watching the video, which has already received over a million views.
Though the clip was inconclusive, and the audio barely allowed for an interpretation of the conversation between Chopra and Mama Bhaker, countless people heard wedding bells ringing.
Rumours of a possible wedding seemed to gain further traction when the silver medallist was later seen talking to the bronze winner.
When the news reached a seemingly skeptical sector of the Internet, it was dismissed as nothing more than a tactic to interact online.
“These rumors must stop immediately,” wrote one.
It turns out the prospect of Olympians getting married as an opinion long predates the rumors.
Long before Chopra’s twin videos with the Bhakers went viral, one revealed that they overheard a group of women discussing the Olympics on the Metro.
Unfortunately for those who wanted the rumours to be true, Manu’s father Ram Kishan Bhaker has put them to rest.
“Manu is still very young,” she told Dainik Bhasker. “He is not even of marriageable age. He is not even thinking about it right now. Manu’s mother considers Neeraj as her son.”
As for Chopra’s family, they said that when she gets married, the entire country will know about it.
