WATCH | Neeraj Chopra Meets Manu Bhaker, Her Mother; Social Media Abuzz With Futile 'Rumours'

A OneIndia exclusive video of Manu Bhaker's mother, Sumedha, meeting Neeraj Chopra in Paris, the host city of the 2024 Summer Olympics, has drawn the internet's attention.

The footage, which has gone viral on social media, shows an animated conversation between the two star athletes, sparking playful speculation online.

While we at OneIndia are not confirming anything brewing between the two, netizens on the other hand, have gone wild with their imaginations.

Manu Bhaker made history in Paris by becoming the first Indian to win two medals at a single Olympic Games, clinching bronze in both the women's 10m air pistol and the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.

Neeraj Chopra, meanwhile, added a silver medal in men's javelin to his Olympic achievements, following his gold from Tokyo 2020.

The closing ceremony of the Paris Games saw Bhaker representing India, with Neeraj Chopra initially slated to accompany her. However, the Indian Olympic Association later decided that PR Sreejesh would be a better fit for the role.

Amid the excitement of the Games, a clip of Neeraj Chopra chatting with Sumedha Bhaker has sparked a wave of humor online.

In the video, Sumedha Bhaker is seen holding Chopra's hand while they engage in conversation, prompting social media users to jokingly speculate about a potential match between Chopra and Manu Bhaker.

"Shaadi ke rishte ki baat chal rahi hai," one user commented, while another added, "Indian mom talking to successful boy about her daughter's marriage."

The playful commentary continued with remarks like "Mummy ji on mission for damadji (Mother on a mission for a son-in-law)" and "Aunty ji, make it happen."

Both Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra hail from Haryana, and the sight of the two athletes conversing in Paris has further fueled the speculation, with the video garnering over a million views on X.

One user humorously observed, "If a boy and a girl talk to each other nicely, people start assuming things in India," while another quipped, "Indians are born Bollywood storywriters!"
