Boxer Mary Kom Enters Bigg Boss 20

After weeks of rumors swirling around the newest season of Salman Khan’s reality extravaganza, the mystery finally cleared: five‑time world champion boxer Mary Kom is now a confirmed contestant on Bigg Boss 20. The Olympic medalist entered the house on September 6, swapping the roar of a crowd in the ring for the constant buzz of cameras and whispering housemates.

Before the cameras started rolling, Mary received an unexpected surprise from actress Priyanka Chopra. The two forged a bond while filming the 2014 biopic “Mary Kom,” and Priyanka’s gesture felt like a friendly tap on the shoulder before a big fight. In a short video posted on Instagram, the star wished Mary luck, urged her to stay true to herself, and—playfully—warned the other contestants about the boxer’s “knockout” power.

“Inka knockout na bohot bhaari parta hai. Mary, ap bas jaisi hai waisi rahie. Khule dil se kheliye. I’m so looking forward to your journey. Bohot bohot sara pyaar,” Priyanka said, mixing Hindi and English with her characteristic charm.

For Mary, the challenge is a stark departure from the disciplined world of boxing. Instead of a ring, she now faces 105 days in a locked‑down house where alliances shift as quickly as a jab, and every conversation is amplified for a nation of viewers. The pressure will be different, but the discipline that earned her multiple world titles may just be her secret weapon.

Bigg Boss 20, which airs on Colors at 10:30 pm and streams live on Jio Hotstar at 9 pm, features a colorful mix of personalities—actors, singers, internet sensations, and now a sports icon. Alongside Mary, the lineup includes Aasif Khan, Kanika Mann, ScoutOp (Tanmay Singh), Amrapali Dubey, Mahhi Vij, Yung DSA, Qazi Touqeer, Arishfa Khan, Rohed Khan, Isha Rikhi, and Gullu (Kushal Tanwar), among others.

Whether Mary’s knockout punch will land inside the house or whether the drama will out‑shine her sporting accolades remains to be seen. One thing’s certain: the show has just gained a new kind of fire, and fans are already tuning in to watch the champion step out of the ring and into the world of reality TV.
