It was a learning experience for both Priyanka and Farhan when they met the athletes for the first time
Priyanka Chopra, who recently did a biopic on MC Mary Kom’s life, applauded the boxer after her gold medal win at the Asian Games 2014. While we already know about Ms Chopra’s fondness for Mary, here’s what Mary had to say about their first meeting in Mumbai.
The World Amateur Boxing champion said to a leading daily, “I met Priyanka in Mumbai, much before she came to Manipur, during which time we spoke at length. When she came to Manipur, she knew about boxing so I gave her tips as a mother and a wife, how I went about managing my home and profession, how I live with my family — basically she got to know aspects about my family life.” Later PeeCee had visited the boxer in her hometown Imphal. The desi girl had tweeted about her experience saying, “Champions r made from tuff stuff!! Learning from the champ herself!”
Like Priyanka, Farhan Akhtar too had a phenomenal experience when he had met Milkha Singh. In fact, the athlete had challenged Akhtar for a race when they met for the first time during their research for the film. We wonder if Mr Singh was testing the B-town star? Well, the Don director had followed rigorous workout sessions post that for 18 months to acquire a well toned body for the biopic.
