There is a lot of buzz on social media regarding the popular and controversial TV show ‘Bigg Boss 20’. The show has been constantly in the news. As the show progresses, the contestants are revealing their true colors. Last week, boxing champion Mary Kom was eliminated from the show. During her time in the house, she was well-liked by the audience, and she maintained good relationships with the other housemates. Since her exit, she has been giving a series of interviews, where she has spoken openly about her personal and professional life, as well as her experiences with the other contestants. In the midst of this, Mary Kom also discussed her biopic. She has stated that she is very unhappy with the 2014 film ‘Mary Kom’, which was based on her life. Let’s find out why Mary Kom said this.
In 2014, a film titled ‘Mary Kom’ was made about her life. Actress Priyanka Chopra played the role of Mary in this biopic. After the show, Mary Kom gave an interview to ‘Screen’, during which she spoke about the film ‘Mary Kom’. The boxing champion remarked that the film did not fully capture the reality of her struggles. Mary Kom further added, “I don’t think there should be a sequel now. After all, everyone already knows my story.” My career and my journey have already been depicted in a film and in my book, ‘Unbreakable’. However, that biopic was not entirely accurate.
Mary further added, “I suspect that some parts of the story were not true. It captured only 10 percent of my struggles and hard work. If you read my book, you will learn about the extent of my struggles and hard work. I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope for a happy and prosperous life ahead. People often ask if there is no room for love in my life; if such a situation arises in the future, I will decide then.” Mary Kom also explained why she decided to join ‘Bigg Boss 20’. She mentioned that she had been watching the show for many years, but now she wanted to experience what it was like inside the house firsthand. Mary stated, “My objective behind joining ‘Bigg Boss’ was to experience its format. I had been watching the show for years, but you cannot truly understand it until you participate in it yourself. I wanted people to learn about my journey. My boxing journey is one thing, but many people across the world do not know the real Mary Kom.” Now, after the show, people realize that I am not just a boxer—I am also a mother and a human being. For years, people assumed that I wouldn’t know how to cook or handle small household chores. This was an opportunity to prove that notion wrong.
