She pursued a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Physical Science at Delhi University’s Miranda House before continuing her education in the United States. Himani attended Southeastern Louisiana University and later worked as a part-time Volunteer Assistant Tennis Coach at Franklin Pierce University. Currently, she is a graduate assistant at Amherst College, where she manages the women’s tennis team, handling responsibilities such as training, recruitment, scheduling, and budgeting. She is also pursuing a master’s degree in sports management and administration from the McCormack Isenberg School of Management.
Her tennis career began in 2018, competing in All India Tennis Association (AITA) events. Himani reached a career-best national ranking of 42 in singles and 27 in doubles that same year.
Neeraj’s uncle, Bhim, shared details about the low-profile wedding, which took place in India just two days ago. Speaking from their village in Khandra, near Panipat in Haryana, he confirmed, “Yes, the marriage took place in India. I can’t disclose the location. The girl is from Sonipat and is studying in the US.”
According to Bhim, the couple has left the country for their honeymoon. “We wanted to keep it private. I am not aware of where they are heading,” he added.
Neeraj Chopra, known for his humility and focus, has once again managed to surprise his fans, this time with a personal milestone, while continuing to inspire with his achievements on and off the field.
