Exclusive: Priyanka Chopra answers fans' questions about Mary Kom!
We ran a short contest under the hashtag #AskPriyanka on Twitter today and received a mind-boggling number of questions fans wanted to ask the actor! Here are the best questions Priyanka Chopra answered personally!
On singing for the first time in Bollywood:
Fan Bhupendra Singh (@ibhupendra) asked, "Have you sung a lullaby in Mary Kom?"
PC says , I have sung a lullaby for the film for my twins (Mary's). It's a beautiful Lori. I am really excited about it because its my first Hindi song. So yay!
On comparison with Hilary Swank:
Fan MY PRIYANKA CHOPRA @piggy_chopps asks "Sanjay(Leela Bhansali) sir compared you to Hilary Swank. Your reaction?"
PC says , "Anything coming from Sanjay sir is a huge compliment. But Mary Kom is nothing likeMillion Dollar Baby (Swank's film wherein she played a boxer). It is about amateur boxing and the life of five time Olympic medallist from India."
Emotional challenge in playing Mary Kom:
Fan Zoya shahid @zoya_shahid asks "Was it as emotionally challenging as it was physically to play Mary Kom?"
PC says , "I wouldn't say Mary has had a hard life. I wouldn't want anybody to feel bad about her. I'd say she has an inspiring life. It has inspired me tremendously. It was emotionally challenging because I had to play a living, breathing person so there was a huge responsibility on me to play the role right."
What is Mary Kom for women?
Fan J Anoshiya Lopez (@jenieLopez95) asks: "How will MK influence women?"
PC says , "It is an empowering film especially for women. Its about Mary who wouldn't settle for less, who cannot be told what her limits are! So I think along with women the film will also inspire a lot of young people of the country to not limit themselves according to what others say."
What will people take away from Mary Kom?:
Fan Stacy (@StacySuperDuper) asks: "What will people walk away with after watching Mary Kom?"
PC says , "Ah! The film is too close to me, I don't know what people will take away from it. I just hope that Mary's life inspires people. To me it gave a lot."
Craziest reaction:
Fan Tanvi (@iamtanvi) asked "What's the best reaction you've received so far?"
PC says , " I remember when I first tweeted the first look of MK I was working on Zoya's film and we were on a boat for a long time. And within three hours, I got some 350 emails, some 600 messages and some crazy number of tweets! We were trending and everything and I didn't even know that this happened within a few hours! So the number by which people liked the film's look was amazing!"
Doing another biopic:
Fan ADITI @AdiPcSunshine asked "WOULD YOU DO ANY OTHER BIO PIC IN FUTURE? OR THIS WAS ONE & LAST?"
PC says, "I am always open to great films. So if another interesting story comes, then why not!"
