Since his outstanding achievement at this year’s Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra has been the buzz of the town. He has, however, expanded his horizons to include not only athletics but also fashion.
The 23-year-old athlete graces the cover of Vogue India’s November issue, and he looks stunning. With this, he becomes the country’s first male athlete to be featured in Vogue.
Neeraj has been a Youth sensation since he hit the center stage by winning Gold. Everyone wants Neeraj to be their leading man, so he appears in a number of commercials and fashion shows.
Neeraj was styled by Priyanka Kapadia for the Vogue magazine photoshoot and was photographed wearing a knitted white sweater and black trousers for the cover. The high neck on the full-sleeved sweater added to the sleek and stylish appeal of the combination.
He was dressed in a moss green knitted turtleneck sweater and gray jeans in another outfit. In another, he went for a more casual approach, wearing a plain white tee from Muji India and a Hermes checked blazer.
Within a day following his incredible Olympic performance, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra vowed to award the javelin thrower an SUV, EdTech Byju’s announced a monetary prize of Rs 2 lakh, and IndiGo offered him free air travel for a year.
Chopra has infiltrated the exclusive club of Indian athletes whose brand values attract scores of endorsements. It’s only a matter of time before he overtakes some of the world’s best cricketers and sportsmen in terms of brand sponsorship.
