Actress Priyanka Chopra is training hard for the Mary Kom biopic, but her trainer says he doesn't want her to build extra muscles and ruin her femininity. Priyanka, 30, plays the Olympic bronze medalist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film, being directed by Omung Kumar. Physical trainer Samir Jaura, who is working with Priyanka to get the right look for the character, told IANS: 'We are working on building her muscles, but I don't want her to build extra muscles. I want her curves to get the right look, and not ruin the femininity.'
Jaura vouches for Priyanka's hard work and dedication. 'Priyanka was very close to her father. When he passed away (June 10), I thought it will not be easy for her to come out of it, and the film will get delayed. But she is highly professional and she joined back within eight days and started working hard to get the right look,' he said.
It certainly won't be a cakewalk for PeeCee as Mary is a world champion and trains hard 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. Read more about her training here.
Born as Mangte Chungneijang, MC Mary Kom shot to fame when she won the bronze medal in the Fly weight category in Women's boxing at the Olympics. Before her stint at the Olympics, she was a five time World Boxing Champion and the only boxer to win a medal in all six world championships. The mother of twin boys, Mary Kom, started her boxing career at the tender age of 16. She was only 18 years old when she made her international debut at the first AIBA Women's World Boxing Championship in the United States, winning a silver medal.
