However, Manu Bhaker's father, Ram Kishan Bhaker cleared the air around the social media discussions and said, "she's still very young and we're not thinking about her marriage yet."
"She's not even of marriageable age," he added. Reacting to the viral video of the interaction between Manu Bhaker's mom and Neerj Chopra, he said, "She considers Neeraj like her son."
Neeraj Chopra's uncle too had refuted the social media speculations. He said just like how the country knew about Neeraj's medal, the entire country would know about his marriage.
Both of them cleared the air during an interview with Dainik Bhaskar.
Meanwhile, Manu Bhaker was the flag bearer (female) for India at the closing ceremony of Olympics on August 11. Bhaker won two bronze medals, while Neeraj Chopra clinched the only silver for the country at the Paris Games.
