Dream come true, says Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra after giving special gift to parents

Chandigarh, September 11

"A great man always willing to be a little", is a quote that fits simple and humble Olympian Neeraj Chopra.

A small dream of mine came true today as I was able to take my parents on their first flight.

आज जिंदगी का एक सपना पूरा हुआ जब अपने मां - पापा को पहली बार फ्लाइट पर बैठा पाया। सभी की दुआ और आशिर्वाद के लिए हमेशा आभारी रहूंगा 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/Kmn5iRhvUf

The 23-year-old Chopra recently took his parents on their first flight and his joy knew no bounds.

Chopra along with his parents Satish Kumar and Saroj Devi were on their way to an event organised by his promoter JSW Sports at the Inspire Institute of Sports (IIS) in Bellary, Karnataka.

Besides Chopra and his parents, his coach and German biomechanics expert Klaus Bartonietz and Olympian super heavyweight boxer Satish Kumar were also seen seated inside the aircraft.

Why are we making things harder for Neeraj Chopra, the only Indian who can compete with the elite of global athletics? Why the controversy over his remark that his own javelin was with Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem before Chopra’s first throw in the final in Tokyo?

In a latest tweet, Neeraj wrote: "A small dream of mine came true today as I was able to take my parents on their first flight.”

Below are a few messages from his fans for the star Indian athlete.

Haan take off. Not only your mamma and papa's dream, You have fulfilled the dream of India. Your Abracadabra is really working out Mr.Neeraj

To give more importance to your parents than your Olympic dreams, speaks a lot about your parents as well for bringing you up with Indian values. We are even more prouder of you than when you got the Olympic Gold for us. Every Indian wants a Neeraj Chopra in their family now.

Chopra became the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal in the Olympics after he topped the podium with a throw of 87.6m in Tokyo early last month.
