Actress
Priyanka
Chopra
impressed
all
with
her
performance
as
boxing
champion
MC
Mary
Kom
in
the
recently
released
biopic,
Mary
Kom.
However,
comparisons
being
made
about
Priyanka's
earning
more
by
acting
as
Mary
Kom
than
Mary
Kom
actually
earned
till
date,
certainly
disappointed
the
actress.
There
has
been
a
buzz
about
how
Priyanka
Chopra
earned
much
more
by
just
acting
as
Mary
Kom
in
a
film
than
the
boxer
could
earn
in
her
entire
life.
Priyanka
Chopra
now
speaks
about
the
issue
and
expressed
her
views.
"To
reduce
the
life
of
an
Indian
hero
like
Mary
to
a
comparison
of
how
much
she
earns
compared
to
me
or
anybody
else
is
taking
us
away
from
the
main
message
of
her
life.
What
she
has
done
has
made
all
of
us
richer,
all
women
especially
by
giving
us
the
inspiration
that
every
woman
can
fight
for
herself.
Every
woman
can
make
decisions
that
make
her
life
more
fulfilling.
A
salary
is
an
opportunity
cost.
It
means
that
you
get
paid
accoording
to
what
work
or
what
output
the
employee
gives,"
said
Mary
Kom
actress,
Priyanka
Chopra.
The
actress
further
added,"If
we
were
to
look
at
what
Mary
has
given
back
to
the
society
through
her
work,
even
if
she
was
paid
a
billion
dollar
per
minute
she
would
still
be
underpaid.
Just
because
it
makes
for
great
irony
to
highlight
the
plight
of
sportswomen
in
India,
does
not
justify
comparing
our
salaries
to
point
out
the
sad
state
of
Indian
women
sports
in
India.
I
and
the
film-makers
have
at
least
brought
the
story
to
the
forefront
in
the
best
way
we
could.
We
are
on
the
side
of
asking
for
better
conditions
for
sportswomen
like
Mary
in
India
and
not
the
other
side.
I
think
one
should
appreciate
this
effort
not
negate
whatever
little
difference
we
will
make
to
highlight
these
issues
through
our
film."
