'She also turned down a Rs 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in the USA and instead will focus on her own business now,' he said.
Currently, Himani is in Europe with Neeraj, who is in the middle of an intense training block ahead of a packed competition calendar.
An alumna of Delhi University with a degree in Political Science, Himani also holds a qualification in Sports and Fitness Management from Franklin Pierce University in the United States.
The couple tied the knot earlier this year in a private ceremony at a resort in Solan, Himachal Pradesh.
Announced quietly through social media posts, the wedding was followed almost immediately by their departure to the USA. With Neeraj's demanding training and competition schedule, the family has yet to host a formal reception.

Meanwhile, Neeraj has withdrawn from the upcoming Silesia Diamond League in Poland, an event that had been billed as a marquee clash between him and Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem. Both names were absent from the final entry list, leaving fans curious.
Is the champion javelin thrower fit? By all indications, yes. The absence does not appear to be injury-related.
Instead, it is believed that Neeraj is conserving his energy and fine-tuning his preparations for a bigger stage: the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. The men's javelin throw is scheduled for September 17 and 18, where Neeraj will aim to add another chapter to his remarkable career.

Raj Kundra offers kidney to Premanand Maharaj, gets trolled: ‘Strange world we live in'
Amid Rs 60 crore fraud allegations, actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband, Raj Kundra, visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. A video of their visit was shared online on the guru's official channels. In the video, Raj offers one of his kidneys to the guru, whose own two kidneys are compromised. His statement quickly went viral, with many calling it a PR stunt. Premanand Maharaj also counts actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli as his disciples. In a video shared by the YouTube channel Bhajan Marg, Raj Kundra can be heard saying, 'I have been following you since the past two years. You have been all over social media. When I was coming here, I was constantly thinking 'What do I question him?' And whatever questions appeared in my head, you would answer them through Instagram. Today's youth and the entire society has been following you. Your teachings are so helpful. Right now, I have no questions to ask. But, I do know that you have a failed kidney since the past two decades, I just want to say if I can ever be a help to you then I want to donate a kidney of mine to you.' Premanand replied with a laugh, 'Please, no. You stay healthy and happy… that's all I want. By God's grace, I am doing just fine.' ALSO READ | Malaika Arora says people 'pointed fingers' at her, called her 'selfish' after divorce from Arbaaz Khan: 'Co-parenting isn't easy' Raj Kundra's offering, however, was labeled a PR move. After severe backlash, Raj took to his social media handles to share a note addressing his trolls. He wrote, 'Strange world we live in when someone chooses to offer a part of themselves to save another's life, it's mocked as a PR stunt. If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I'm not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me. My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism.' He concluded his note with the line, 'Judge less, love more you might just save a life too.' This, too, received backlash with many trolling him for his current association with Rs 60 crore fraud. It is reported that Raj and Shilpa have defrauded a Mumbai-based businessman for nearly Rs 61 crore. However, in a statement, the couple called the allegations 'baseless and malicious.'

Coolie Box Office Collections: Rajnikanth starrer rises to 243 crore worldwide in two days
Coolie grossed USD 3.25 million approx on Friday internationally, taking its total gross to USD 11.85 million (Rs. 104 crore) approx. Combined with Rs. 139 crore in India, the worldwide gross for the Rajnikanth starrer stands at Rs. 243 crore approx. Coolie held generally well, but the market which did the best on the opening day, the United States, saw a kind of a crash, with collections dropping to just USD 600K on Friday. This is an unnatural drop from a huge USD 2.70 million it did on Wednesday, or even the USD 700K on Thursday. Yes, the reception is on the mixed side, but that stands true for other places, where the drops are more in line with what you would expect. The opening day was the biggest ever for a Tamil film internationally, the reason for which was the United States, where the film beat Leo by a considerable margin of USD 1.30 million. On its second day, the overall biz was a bit short of Leo, with the gap reducing to just USD 100K in the US. The four-day weekend is projected to reach USD 17.50 million, which will be the second-highest ever, just behind Leo (USD 18 million). Leo ended up being very frontloaded, closing at USD 23.40 million, so Coolie may still overtake it if it manages to get better legs beyond the weekend. The Territorial Breakdown for Coolie overseas is as follows:
