Indian actor Priyanka Chopra sends a special video message to boxing legend Mary Kom as she enters the Bigg Boss 20 house. Chopra, who played Kom in the 2014 biographical film Mary Kom, wishes the reigning champion luck for her time on the reality show and also addresses the other contestants.
In the message, Chopra warns that Kom’s presence will be challenging, using Hindi remarks about her “knockout” strength and emphasizing that the boxer may bring discipline to the house. The outlets describe her comments as both a caution to other contestants and an encouragement for Kom to stay authentic and compete with an open mind.
The coverage is anchored in the connection between Chopra and Kom through the film, with multiple reports noting their shared background as well as Kom’s own plans to show different aspects of her personality on the show. Times of India and NDTV focus primarily on the message and the caution, while the Free Press Journal adds additional context about their preparation for the biopic and Kom’s broader public profile as a decorated Indian boxer.
