Priyanka Chopra’s latest film Mary Kom has received much praise from critics as well as being hailed a success at the box office.
Mary Kom is a biopic about an Indian boxer.
Mary Kom said: “Priyanka did a great job. I am very happy for her.
“She is the best person to fit in the role. She did hard work, and you can see the muscles.
“If people like the film then women’s boxing could get more recognition.
“Promotion is necessary. Just like kabbadi and football. The country is getting medals in individual sports like archery, weightlifting, wrestling, and with promotion more medals could come in future.”
