New Delhi: Neeraj Chopra, India’s star javelin thrower, showcased his exceptional talent once again at the recent Diamond League event in Brussels, Belgium. Despite competing with a fractured hand, Chopra clinched a commendable second place in the men’s final. The competition was intensely close, with just a single centimetre separating him from Grenada’s two-time world champion, Anderson Peters, who ultimately secured the gold medal.

Fan moment gone viral

Chopra’s performance not only impressed the athletic world but also captured the hearts of European fans. Among them was a particularly enthusiastic admirer who took to social media with a video of a memorable interaction. The 26-second clip shows Chopra obliging a fan's request for a photo, first with her friend and then with her. The moment takes an unexpected turn when the fan, still buzzing with excitement, asks Chopra for his phone number.

With characteristic poise, Chopra politely declined the request, humorously citing that he had already given his contact details to someone else. The interaction, while innocuous, quickly went viral, eliciting a range of reactions online. Comments ranged from skepticism about the fan's bold request to praise for Chopra’s international popularity and charisma.

Neeraj Chopra's international appeal

One commentator noted, “So she thought it's that easy to get his number??? If some random guy would have asked a celebrity woman her number, people generally call him a creep!! She is a creep.” Another remarked, “Neeraj Chopra has certainly gained international recognition for his impressive achievements in javelin throwing. His success and charisma have earned him fans worldwide, including in Europe.”

The viral video underscores Chopra’s growing international appeal, bolstered by his impressive performances at the Olympics and other major events. His popularity is a testament to his skill and the universal appeal of his athletic prowess.
