**New Delhi, India** – Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra surprised fans and media alike by secretly marrying his girlfriend, Himani, in a private ceremony in Himachal Pradesh. The incredibly private event, held over three days (January 14-16), was attended by only close family and friends, numbering around 40-50 people.
The news only broke after Chopra himself posted pictures on his X (formerly Twitter) account, days after the wedding. The athlete’s family successfully kept the destination wedding under wraps, leading to widespread speculation and excitement amongst his fans, who were eager to learn details about his new wife.
Details remain scarce, with the couple’s current location and the date of a planned reception in New Delhi kept undisclosed. The reception is expected to be a grand affair, with invitations reportedly to be extended to prominent figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The secrecy surrounding the event mirrors the surprise surrounding the marriage of former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, a comparison made by several news outlets. For now, the newlyweds are reportedly abroad on their honeymoon.
