Neeraj Chopra interacts with a little fan

While the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics made Neeraj Chopra a household name in the country, his down to earth persona ensured that he was loved by all. In a recent video, adorable interaction with a little girl only further proves how polite and kind the champion javelin thrower is.

In a video shared on Twitter by IPS officer Pankaj Nain Neeraj Chopra could be seen almost kneeling in front of the little girl while speaking to her. After a few words, the girl could be heard saying “Mera favourite to aap hi ho (You are my favourite)”. To this, Neeraj smiles and gives the girl’s cheeks an affectionate pat.

“Look at the simplicity of this man, interacting with kids at Panipat Sports Stadium today. Way to go Champion,” read the caption.
