How Priyanka Chopra became Mary Kom

Mary Kom has also given Priyanka Chopra a few tips on the film, which seemed to have helped the actress go through her journey of playing a boxer. Mary Kom in an interview with The Times of India said, "I met Priyanka in Mumbai, much before she came to Manipur, during which time we spoke at length. When she came to Manipur, she knew about boxing so I gave her tips as a mother and a wife, how I went about managing my home and profession, how I live with my family — basically she got to know aspects about my family life."
