India's star javelin throw athlete Neeraj Chopra shook a leg with his fans while participating in a Garba night at one of the venues of the 36th National Games in Vadodara in Gujarat.

On Wednesday, Chopra surprised his fans by appearing at the event, upping their enthusiasm and joy.

Chopra made history earlier this month, becoming the first-ever Indian to win the prestigious Diamond League trophy, a top-tier athletics competition, achieving the best throw of 88.44 m to clinch one of the biggest wins of his career.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 36th National Games at a grand Opening Ceremony to be held here at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

National Games are being held in Gujarat from 29th September to 12th October. Nearly 15,000 sportspersons, coaches, and officials from across the country will be participating in 36 sports disciplines, making it the biggest National Games ever.
