Himani Mor, wife of two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, has declined an INR 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in the United States in order to launch her own business venture in the sports industry, her father revealed. Mor, a former professional tennis player, chose to step away from her playing career to focus on entrepreneurship.
“She (Mor) turned down a ₹1.5 crore sports-related job offer in the USA and instead will focus on her own business now,” Chand Mor told Dainik Bhaskar.
Himani Mor married javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra in a private ceremony in Himachal Pradesh in January 2025. The couple are currently in Europe, where Neeraj is undergoing intensive training for a packed competition schedule ahead.
Chopra has recently withdrawn from the Silesia Diamond League event in Poland, where he could have faced Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem. However, both Nadeem and Chopra have skipped the event.
Instead, fans will likely see India’s ‘Golden Boy’ in the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025, set to feature the men’s javelin throw on 17 and 18 September.
