Not even thinking about it right now.” Ram Kishan dismissed the speculation, clarifying that his daughter is focused on her career and not contemplating marriage at this stage.
Social media videos showed a warm relationship between Manu’s mother and Neeraj, further fueling rumors. Ram Kishan explained that Manu’s mother regards Neeraj as a son, which reflects the close family bond rather than any romantic connection. “Manu’s mother considers Neeraj like her son,” he stated, reinforcing the platonic nature of their relationship.
