Boxing champion Mary Kom says the 2014 biographical film starring Priyanka Chopra “was not real,” arguing it captured only a small portion of her struggles and hard work. The comments come as she reflects on her public profile after her eviction from Bigg Boss season 20.
Multiple outlets report that Kom puts the figure at “10%,” saying that reading her book, rather than the film alone, better shows the full extent of what she went through. Some coverage also notes her boxing journey and her eventual success as a six-time world amateur champion.
Outlets frame her remarks slightly differently: some focus tightly on the film being an inaccurate representation of her life, while others add context about how audiences perceived her after Bigg Boss and how she portrays her own authenticity on the reality show. One outlet also highlights her view on whether a sequel to the biopic is necessary, saying she does not think another film is needed at this point.
