another. Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Ram Kishan stated: "Manu is still very young. She is not even of marriageable age. We are not thinking about it right now. Manu's mother


considers Neeraj like her son." "IF SHE GETS THE MEDAL, IT WOULD BE VERY GOOD" - NEERAJ CHOPRA ON VINESH PHOGAT With the controversy around Vinesh Phogat capturing the


athletes' minds globally, Neeraj hopes the wrestler gets a medal, regardless of what the verdict from Court of Arbitration from Sport (CAS) is. He said, as quoted by The Hindustan


Times: "If she gets the medal, it would be very good. If things had not panned out the way they did, she would have had the medal. I hope she gets it because if you don't have it


around your neck, that thing stays in your heart. Today people might say that she is our champion but, I feel till the time one is not on the podium they will forget after a few days. I just


hope whether she gets the medal or not, people don't forget what she did for the country."
