Abhishek Bachchan is among those who are expected to cheer the Indian athletes in Paris Olympics 2024. It was at the javelin throw final on Thursday that the actor was caught sitting in the stands.
Now, a video from the event has gone viral on social media where Junior Bachchan can be seen showering words of motivation and positivity over the athlete.
Draped in a tricolor, Neeraj is seen pacing off the stadium but stops once he sees Abhishek. While Neeraj understands these encouraging words, Abhishek hugs him and congratulates him for his silver win.
The javelin final also involves Malaika Arora in Paris. The actress later took to social media to congratulate him for his win: “What a proud moment for my India. I was also there to witness it @neeraj_chopra.”
Tokyo Olympic gold medalist says after the match, “I haven’t reached 90 meters yet. But on my second try today felt like it could be that day.” I trust myself so much and I can do it one day, I will hold your flag high and bring home a medal for you country, it’s an amazing feeling actually, I am still injured and I’ve been trying my best though, but ii have so much more healing to do. Stay fit for this purpose.
