Priyanka Chopra says ‘someone from the northeast’ should have played Mary Kom: ‘I look nothing like her’

Priyanka Chopra reflects on her role in Mary Kom and says the role should be played by a Northeasterner. She added that while she was hesitant to make the film, she did so because she was “greedy as an actress.”

Directed by Omung Kumar, Mary Kom is based on the life of the Manipur boxer of the same name, who has won the country a number of accolades, including an Olympic medal and multiple world championship trophies. The film was released in 2014.

Priyanka told Vanity Fair: “When I played Mary Kom, I was skeptical at first that I would accept it, because she was a living, breathing icon who made a difference for so many female athletes. Out of location. Plus, I don’t look like her at all. She’s from North East India, I’m from North India, and our bodies don’t look alike. In hindsight, this part probably should have been someone from the North East. But As an actor, I was just greedy for the opportunity to tell her story because she inspired me a lot as a woman, as an Indian woman, as an athlete. When the filmmakers insisted I do it, I It’s like, ‘You know what? I’ll do it.’” Priyanka said she prepared a lot for the film, from getting intense boxing training to spending time with Mary and her family. “I went to meet Mary, I spent time at her house, I met her kids, I met her husband. I had to spend almost five months training to learn the sport, by the way One word, it’s not easy…and physically changing my body to be an athlete. So physically, it’s really tough, mentally, it’s really tough. Because my body doesn’t look like it Like her, so I decided to embody her spirit. So, I spent a lot of time with her so she could tell me what her choices were and why she made them,” she said. Its casting sparked controversy, with some calling the decision to choose Priyanka over the Northeastern actor “racist.”

Mary Kom won the National Award for Best Popular Movie for Wholesomeness in 2014. Priyanka’s performance has also won several awards, including the Screen Award, the Producers Guild Film Award, and the Stardust Award.

When Aishwarya Rai appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival 2024 on Thursday, she enthralled the world once more. Aishwarya, a frequent visitor to the esteemed occasion, wore a black and gold costume to the Megalopolis premiere directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The actor’s most recent red carpet pictures quickly took over the internet, and comments on Reddit, Instagram, and X about her appearances poured in.

“Wishing she had a nicer outfit for the next occasion”

An somebody posted the actor’s images to Reddit with the comment, “More unseen pictures of Aishwarya Rai at Cannes.” One Redditor responded to it by saying, “Thank you, the hair is finally out of my face.” Although the dress is bland, she looks beautiful.”

One more person said, “I adore the hair.” She seems stunning. But the outfit is awful. A lot is going on, and for some reason the front’s golden work appears to have been manufactured cheaply. Most likely as a result of the cloth they selected. I’m hoping to wear something nicer at the upcoming event.

‘Aish’s entire face is finally seen.’

“The outfit and accessories get worse with each new pic,” said a Reddit user. These days, who styles her?” “Finally we can see Aish’s full face,” a fan commented. Somebody else commented, “Her face in the first pic – just wow.”
