Following the viral memes and posts, Manu Bhaker’s father, Ram Kishan Bhaker, has opened up, sharing that she is “still too young” and they are “not thinking of her marriage.”
Manu Bhaker’s father is not the only one who addressed this viral speculation. Neeraj Chopra’s uncle also opened up about the situation. “Just as Neeraj brought the medal, the entire country got to know about it. Similarly, when he marries, then everyone will know,” he told the outlet.
