In the era of social media, life events revolve around it rather than it being just a witness to what’s happening around. When even someone with zero fame is able to package something that goes viral (and money follows), celebs go all-out with their teams carefully planning strategies which eventually ensures that a personal milestone becomes a national event.
Then there is Neeraj Chopra, India’s Olympic medallist javelin thrower, who got married to his sweetheart Himani Mor in a low-key ceremony that did not have media frenzy with armies of reporters waiting outside. There were no strategically posted reels, no glitzy PR hooks and nothing that would take the focus away from what the event was essentially about, that of two people lovingly taking vows to spend life together.
Neeraj and Himani got married in wedding ceremony held in Simla. From just a few photos posted on social media platform Instagram, the classy vibes were apparent but a low-key, relaxed mood was also obvious.
The couple was dressed in elegant traditional attire while relatives and other invitees looked on.
“Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together. Bound by love, happily ever after,” said Neeraj’s Instagram post.
Media reports have said that it was an intimate ceremony with about 50 to 60 people in attendance.
The contrast between Neeraj’s wedding ceremony and other glitzy celebrity events was caught by netizens who lauded Chopra and his wife Himani Mor.
True class needs no showmanship. Wishing Neeraj and Himani a lifetime of happiness and love. ♥️ Some moments are best cherished in their purest form.

Neeraj is class apart, reason why he is Olympic gold medalist and world champion.
Many congratulations to both of them.

Neeraj Chopra got married without any media attention or hype. I think most people only found out after he posted about it himself.
This “not craving attention, focusing on the game instead of politics or cheap PR,” is what makes him different from others.
