ForOlympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, life has taken a 360 degree turn afterhis Tokyo achievements. While adulations and rewards have been plenty, he hasalso had some tough times dealing with media and people's questions, as hefinds himself in the spotlight.
Arecent incident once again proved to Neeraj that being the centre of attentionmay not always be a great.

Kitnesundar nawjawan hai aap (What a handsome young man you are)," is how Sethistarted his question. He said that crores of Indians want to ask Chopra onething, but they feel hesitant. He then asked Chopra in Hindi as to how hebalances his athletic training with his sex life!
WhileChopra tried to evade the question and responded by saying, “Sorry, sir. I havesaid sorry, you can know my answer from that”, Sethi was not the one to giveup! He went on to ask again how athletes manage to balance their training withtheir sex life. Watch the video posted bya Twitter user:
