A Gold Medalist’s Secret Wedding
Neeraj Chopra wedding celebrations broke the typical celebrity mold with a mountain retreat, no cellphones, and just close-knit company. The Olympic javelin champion quietly married Himani Mor, a tennis coach and graduate student, turning down the usual big-fat-Indian-wedding for a ceremony that felt more like an exclusive family getaway. Tucked into the pine forests near Kandaghat, Himachal Pradesh, the location offered postcard views and unmatched privacy for about 70 guests.
If you’re picturing Insta stories or paparazzi shots flooding your feed—not even close. The family's mobile-device ban turned the wedding into a total no-fly zone for leaks. For days, not a single glimpse appeared online. Even the resort staff had to guarantee secrecy before a guest list made up of only the couple’s dearest family and friends started checking in.
People only got a peek when Neeraj finally posted official photos on January 20, showing off the first moments of their new life as husband and wife. He called it a 'new chapter'—and honestly, after seeing the wedding looks, who could disagree?
The Jaimala, The Outfits, and the Mountain Backdrop
The new jaimala photos are all about the little details—Neeraj in a soft baby pink sherwani, topped with a matching pagdi, breaking away from typical heavier wedding colors for something fresh and understated. Himani shone in a baby pink embroidered lehenga, traditional red choora bangles, and the kind of smile that needs no filter. She made her bride’s entry for the jaimala in the intimate ceremony, surrounded by a handful of witnesses and pine trees standing guard outside.
So, who is the new Mrs. Chopra? Himani Mor originally hails from Sonipat, Haryana, but right now, she’s balancing a master’s degree and a job as a graduate assistant at Amherst College in the U.S. Tennis has always been her passion—she played and coached in India before moving to the States for studies. Talk about a power couple: he throws javelins, she aces serves, and their wedding managed to dodge every single cell camera in the process.
After the last guests left the secret hill resort by January 16, Neeraj and Himani reportedly took off for a honeymoon—likely in the U.S., close to her studies. No official word yet about where they’ll settle after the honeymoon ends, with both families keeping things closely guarded for now.
- The attire was carefully chosen for both comfort and culture—Neeraj’s pastel look stood out among traditional grooms.
- Privacy was the hardest rule: not even a blurry guest selfie surfaced, thanks to firm instructions and loyal resort staff.
- Fans had to wait for the couple’s own social media reveal—photos that finally told the story after a week of total radio silence.
The blend of Himani’s education and sports background with Neeraj’s Olympic fame makes this marriage feel modern and grounded. Their celebration, tucked away in the hills without fuss or spectacle, is a reminder: sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones no one sees—at least, not until the couple decides to share them.
