The actress and the boxer struck up a friendship during the making of the Omung Kumar-directed film, which turned out to be a hit. Priyanka has been supportive of the boxer, and just a day before the bout, she had tweeted her support for Mary Kom. ‘Irrespective of the outcome of her final bout at the #AsianGames2014 India is proud of your achievement @MangteC #MaryKom. True champion,’ she had posted Tuesday. A mother of three, 31-year-old Mary Kom belongs to Manipur and fought all odds to pursue her passion for boxing.

How Mary Kom trains every day

Her day starts with a 14 km run which is followed by some stretching and then practising shadow boxing in the ring. After resting in the afternoon, Kom spends her evenings in the gym doing push-ups, sit-ups and strength training before moving back to the boxing ring again.

She pays prime attention to her brain-eye coordination and stamina as these most vital for a boxer. After such a strenuous session, she cools off with a short run.
