India’s golden boy, Neeraj Chopra, who rewrote the history books by winning gold at this year’s Tokyo Olympics was left overwhelmed as the nation continues to shower wishes on the 24-year-old.
Chopra, who hails from a village near Panipat in Haryana, became a household name overnight after winning the gold medal in Javelin and on his 24th birthday, the youngster is full of gratitude towards his countrymen.
Chopra took to Twitter and posted a video of himself wherein he can be seen thanking all the people who wished him on his birthday. He also revealed that currently, he’s training in USA, where there’s a time gap of 13 hours from India, so technically, in America the date is still December 23, although Chopra was flooded with birthday wishes from his well-wishers back home.
