The pride of India, MC Mary Kom hardly needs any introduction as she has proved herself multiple times with her incredible achievements in the boxing arena. The six-time World Champion has a long list of awards and accolades to her credit. However, some records, like being the first Indian to win a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games, being the only Indian woman to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and winning a gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, are the cherished ones.
Nicknamed ‘Magnificent Mary’, the Government of Manipur conferred Mary with the title ‘Meethoi Leima’, (which means great or exceptional lady) after her sixth world title. In 2014, Mary Kom’s biographical drama was released in theatres, and it was critically acclaimed actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas who portrayed her role in the film. The movie was a huge success, and people got to see a glimpse of Mary’s professional and personal life.
