Explained: How Neeraj Chopra pulled off a secret wedding?
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: A family that took an oath of secrecy, a national federation which kept mum despite claiming to know everything and his closest friends in dark -- one of India's most iconic athletes, Neeraj Chopra, got married in complete secrecy at a time when even mildly popular celebrities struggle to keep things private. The wedding preparations had been on for the past several months but none of the build-up could reach the media, which follows Neeraj's life and career rather aggressively ever since he first burst on to the scene in 2016 with a junior world title. The bride and groom opted for pastel shades for the wedding look and the pictures that Neeraj shared showed them sitting with folded hands and eyes closed amid traditional hindu rituals. Last year, Neeraj became one of the most followed track-and-field athletes in the world on Instagram when he hit nine million followers, a number that has swelled considerably.
