A few days ago, Neeraj showcased his stunning acting skills also as in a commercial of credit card payment platform CRED, Neeraj was seen in five different avatars, taking a jibe at the popularity the javelin thrower has earned after winning the gold medal.
The ad started with Bollywood actor Jim Sarbh talking about the CRED and its benefits and connected it to the popularity of Chopra in a most hilarious way. After that, Chopra can be seen in different get-ups playing different avatars such as marketing guru, Bollywood personality, banker, reporter and finally as a sportsperson talking about the fan frenzy surrounding the javelin thrower.
Chopra scripted history when he won India's maiden Olympic medal in athletics — a javelin gold. After winning the medal, Neeraj spoke exclusively to WION.
On his win, he said, "It's hard to believe at the moment, sometimes I feel it it's a dream. But for me, it's a dream come true. Gold in the Olympics is a different feeling and I also feel great to have done this for our country."
