Himani Mor, wife of two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra, has made a significant career move, stepping away from professional tennis to pursue a new venture in the sports business sector.
A former tennis player, Himani has officially ended her playing career to focus on entrepreneurship. Her father, Chand Mor, told Dainik Bhaskar that she had even declined an attractive overseas offer. “She also turned down a Rs 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in the USA and instead will focus on her own business now,” he revealed.
Currently, Himani is in Europe alongside Neeraj, who is undergoing a rigorous training schedule ahead of multiple upcoming competitions.
An alumna of Delhi University with a Political Science degree, Himani also holds a qualification in Sports and Fitness Management from Franklin Pierce University in the U.S.
The couple married earlier this year in an intimate ceremony at a resort in Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Their wedding was announced through low-key social media posts, and shortly after, they left for the USA. With Neeraj’s packed training calendar, the family has yet to host a formal reception.
Meanwhile, Neeraj has pulled out of the upcoming Silesia Diamond League in Poland, which was expected to feature a highly anticipated showdown with Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem. Both athletes’ names were missing from the final entry list, sparking speculation among fans.
Concerns about Neeraj’s fitness were quickly put to rest, as there are no signs of injury. Instead, it is understood that he is saving energy and sharpening his form for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo on September 17 and 18, where he will look to extend his exceptional career.
