EXCLUSIVE | Gold Medallist Neeraj Chopra To NDTV: "Can't Let Success Get To My Head"

Gold Medallist Neeraj Chopra To NDTV: Neeraj Chopra is the new poster boy of Indian sports after making history at the Tokyo Olympics. He is the first Indian to win an Olympic gold in athletics following his stupendous performance in Tokyo. However, the 23-year-old star javelin thrower said he wants to remain focused on his game and doesn't want the success to go to his head. Neeraj Chopra, during an exclusive chat with NDTV, said that during the Tokyo Olympics his sole focus was on doing well and he knew good things would follow.

Seems like the journalist could speak in Hindi language but is not able to consistently have this conversation with Neerak Chopra.
