  • 'Mary Kom' is for my dad: Priyanka Chopra
"Mary Kom" was one of the top gainers at the Renault Star Guild Awards 2015 and actress Priyanka Chopra, who played the main lead in the film, has dedicated its success to her late father Ashok Chopra.
 
"Thank u #starGuildAwards for the acknowledgements tonight...#MaryKom is for my dad.. Thank you for watching over me," tweeted Priyanka, who walked away with the best actress award for the film.
