Neeraj Chopra And Himani Mor Tie The Knot
The wedding occurred in India, according to Neeraj’s uncle Bhim, he told PTI. Himani Mor, a part-time student at the USA, has already started this new life with Chopra.
“Yes, the marriage took place in India two days back. I can’t tell the place where it took place,” Bhim told from his village at Khandra near Panipat in Haryana.
“The girl is from Sonipat and she is studying in the US. They have left the country for honeymoon and I am not aware of the places where they are going. We wanted to keep it like that,” said Bhim, who stays with the Olympic double medallist at Khandra, when asked about the surprise development.
