The Desi Girl of Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra is sharing posts of her special films to celebrate her 20 years in the entertainment industry. And in her recent one, she speaks about her journey of Mary Kom, which the actress says was physically and emotionally demanding for her. Reminiscing the film, the former Miss World wrote, "Playing #MaryKom was not what I expected at all. The weight of telling the story of a living, national icon put a load on me that I hadn't shouldered before. It was surreal in many ways. She was a world champion sportswoman who was and is still competing and is on top of her game. It was an honour but also a huge responsibility for me as an actor."
Describing her role, Piggy Chops added, "It was both physically and emotionally demanding requiring an extreme amount of training to not just get into the physical shape but to learn her particular style of boxing... she is left handed and I'm right. So I had to learn to box as a south paw which was a challenge. It's an experience I will never forget. An amazing team and an equally supportive Mary herself saw me through it all."
Summing up her two decades in the entertainment industry Priyanka Chopra had previously posted, "Being in Indian movies was like entering a magical world.. I went in blind, with no idea what to expect and no formal training. It's been a rollercoaster ride of challenges and milestones with so much I've learned since and so many incredible people I met along the way."
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra will be next in The White Tiger opposite Rajkummar Rao, which is a Netflix film. It is adapted from Aravind Adiga's prize-winning novel of the same name. The film is helmed by Ramin Bahrani.
