The Asian and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Neeraj Chopra said in a conversation with The Quint that there was a lot of chat about how this year would pan out for him in the beginning of 2018. During an event in New Delhi, the javelin-thrower expressed that he is feeling good after winning two gold medals.

I was sure that I would perform well before the year started. Before the big Games, there was a lot of talk about how would this year pan out. I have won golds at Asian and Commonwealth Games this year. I’m feeling very good.

When he was asked which actor should play the lead if a biopic is made on him, Chopra said he would like Randeep Hooda to be the one.

If a biopic is made, then it’ll be very good. I like Randeep Hooda, who is from Haryana. I like Akshay Kumar as well.

The 20-year-old said the fact that he was standing with a Chinese and Pakistani on the podium wasn't going through his mind at all.

There should be sportsmanship. The fact that I was standing with a Chinese and Pakistani wasn’t going through my mind. My entire focus was on our national anthem. I got to know about it when I was in my room later.
