Neeraj Chopra's wife: Who is Himani Mor? 

As per the reports, Himani hails from Larsauli in Haryana and has studied at Little Angels School, Sonipat, from where the Tennis star Sumit Nagal also got his education.

 

The 25-year-old Sonipat tennis player received her bachelor's degree in political science and physical education from Miranda House in Delhi. Himanshu, her brother, is a tennis player as well. At Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, Mor is presently working toward a master's degree in sports management (major). 

 

She competed for Delhi University at the national level before attending the 2017 World University Games in Taipei. According to her school's website, she took home a gold medal from the 2016 World Junior Tennis Championship in Malaysia. 

 

The All India Tennis Association (AITA) website states that Himani's highest career national ranking in 2018 was 27 in doubles and 42 in singles. She began performing only in AITA events in 2018. Since most students can work a job in addition to their studies, Amherst College in Massachusetts also lists her as an assistant coach of women's tennis.

We wanted to keep it like that," stated Bhim, who stays with the Olympic double medallist at Khandra, when asked about the surprise wedding.
