Mary Kom says 2014 biopic showed only 10% of her struggle

Kom said some parts of the story were not real and that her book, *Unbreakable*, gives a fuller account of her challenges.

After being evicted from *Bigg Boss 20*, Kom also said she had shown her real self on the show and wanted viewers to know her beyond boxing.

Kom made the comments after being evicted from Bigg Boss 20.
