Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra and his wife Himani Mor hosted their grand wedding reception on Thursday in Karnal, Haryana. After a simple and private wedding earlier this month, the couple celebrated their special day with family, friends and well-wishers at a large event.
The reception was held at The Eden Jannat Hall in Karnal. Guests began arriving by afternoon, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. Neeraj and Himani made a graceful entry, holding hands and smiling warmly at everyone present.
Videos and photos from the reception have gone viral on social media, showing the couple enjoying the moment and sharing happy conversations on stage. The entire event is being managed by a special team from Mumbai to ensure everything is perfect, from decorations to guest arrangements.
Neeraj-Himani’s stylish entry and emotional moments
Neeraj Chopra wore an elegant Indo-western outfit, matching his look with a maroon pocket square, while Himani Mor looked stunning in a maroon designer lehenga-choli. As they entered the hall together, their wedding shoot visuals were also played on screen.
On stage, Neeraj and Himani were seen holding hands and talking about their wedding moments. At one point, a young child knelt down and offered them a rose. Both smiled warmly, and Neeraj immediately lifted the child with affection, a moment that won many hearts.
Private wedding followed by grand celebrations
Neeraj Chopra, who hails from Khandra village in Panipat, married Sonipat-based tennis player Himani Mor on January 16, 2025. The wedding took place quietly at a resort in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, with only close family members and friends in attendance.
Neeraj had earlier said that due to his tight training schedule and upcoming competitions, a large wedding was not possible. The reception was planned so they could share their happiness with everyone.

Several prominent personalities attended the Karnal reception, including Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and Haryanvi artist Renu Duhan, who shared pictures on social media. Members of various social groups also came forward to congratulate the couple.
