And those who following him after the Tokyo Olympics might be deceived into thinking that he rose to ranks only after winning the historic gold medal.

Below is a video, where Neeraj was once at an event asked about his inspiration behind his long hairstyle. He was asked if it was actor Shah Rukh Khan or cricketer Ishant Sharma.

“Hum khud hi hain…nobody. I like keeping my hair long,” was Neeraj’s epic reply, which left everyone, amused. Neeraj first came into limelight after he became the junior world champion with a world record throw of 86.84m in Poland.

Neeraj’s confidence is still intact, even as he has trimmed his hair.
