Priyanka says Mary Kom has taught her a valuable lesson
Mumbai:
She's played glamorous roles and a girl-next-door in several of her past films. But Priyanka Chopra, who features as boxing champion MC Mary Kom in a biopic, says playing an athlete in a film was almost unthinkable for her.
Mary Kom has thus, taught her a valuable lesson.
"I never thought I will play an athlete or I can become an athlete. I didn't know anything about sports. Besides, who would have thought that a girl can develop muscles and biceps, but that happened with me," the 32-year-old said here on Tuesday in an interview.
"I learnt that if you are adamant about achieving something, anything can happen and you can do anything. This was a very inspiring thing for me," added the National Award winning actress.
Mary Kom, which is director Omung Kumar's debut film, will hit theatres on September 5.
