Away from the sports field, Chopra has found himself in the midst of controversy over his invitation to Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem for the Neeraj Chopra Classic event in Bengaluru. The invites were extended before the Pahalgam terror attacks, but Chopra defended his decision as a sporting gesture, not a political one. Despite Nadeem's inability to attend due to scheduling conflicts, the controversy did not fade, drawing mixed reactions from the public and media.
Chopra, a true sportsman, has always been vocal about his patriotism, and his support for the Indian Armed Forces reflects his dedication to the nation. However, specific recent statements addressing the role of the forces during the current tension are not detailed in the available reports.
