**Solan, Himachal Pradesh:** Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra and national-level tennis player Himani Mor tied the knot in a private ceremony at the Suryavilas luxury resort in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, on January 16th. The wedding was a closely guarded affair, with CCTV cameras reportedly disabled to maintain privacy, and only immediate family members from both sides were in attendance. Guests arrived on January 15th, according to the hotel.
Neeraj’s uncle, Surendra Chopra, described the wedding as a “love-cum-arranged marriage,” revealing that Neeraj sought his family’s permission before proceeding. The decision to keep the wedding a secret stemmed from Neeraj’s desire to maintain privacy in his personal life. Guests were reportedly asked not to share any photos or videos from the event.
Following the ceremony, the couple traveled to Sonipat and subsequently departed for the United States. Himani’s mother, Meena Mor, explained that the wedding was planned on short notice due to Himani’s studies and Neeraj’s upcoming championship in May. She also clarified that the wedding was not clandestine, but simply a small, intimate gathering. A larger reception is planned for a later date.
Himani’s brother, Himanshu Mor, confirmed the close family friendship between the Chopras and the Mors, highlighting the couple’s shared passion for sports and their strong bond as the reason for their union.
Himani’s mother’s dedication to her daughter’s tennis career was also highlighted. Meena Mor left her home village to support Himani’s training in Sonipat, eventually coaching her to international success. Himani’s achievements include representing Asia in the European circuit.
The news of the wedding broke after Neeraj Chopra shared photos on social media on Sunday evening, sparking significant online interest. Searches for “Who is Himani?” and related terms surged on Google.
Neeraj Chopra’s journey from a childhood where he was teased for being overweight to his Olympic victory was also briefly recounted, highlighting his dedication and perseverance.
