Neeraj Chopra’s Wife Himani Mor Rejects Rs 1.5 Crore Offer, Chooses Own Venture

Himani Mor, wife of two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, has decided to step away from professional tennis to pursue a career in sports business. The former tennis player competed at the international level in both singles and doubles events. In 2018, she achieved a career-best singles ranking of 42, the same year she made her professional debut, and reached a doubles ranking high of 27.

Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Himani's father, Chand Mor, revealed that she also declined a lucrative Rs 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in the USA, opting instead to focus on building her own business. Currently, Himani is accompanying Neeraj in Europe, where he is undergoing rigorous training. She holds a degree in Political Science from Delhi University and has completed a course in Sports and Fitness Management from Franklin Pierce University.

Family Awaits Wedding Reception

Neeraj and Himani tied the knot earlier this year in January in a private ceremony at a resort in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, announcing their marriage on social media. Following the wedding, the couple traveled to the USA, and due to Neeraj's busy schedule, the family is yet to host their wedding reception. Himani is actively involved in managing the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist's diet and training sessions.

Himani's Journey in Tennis

Born in 1999, Himani started playing tennis in the fourth grade. Although her family initially encouraged her to explore sports like boxing, wrestling, and kabaddi, she followed her passion for tennis, guided by her mother, a Physical Training Instructor (PTI). She represented Delhi University at the national level and competed in the 2017 World University Games.

Fans will have to wait longer to see Neeraj in action, as he has withdrawn from the upcoming Silesia Diamond League. His most recent appearance was at the Neeraj Chopra Classic in Bengaluru, where he emerged victorious. While no official reason has been provided, it is likely that the 27-year-old is focusing on staying fresh ahead of next month's World Athletics Championships.
