Mary Kom
Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 · Olympic boxer, sports icon · Manipur
SafeMangte Chungneijang Mary Kom is one of India's most decorated sportspersons. News coverage of Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 consistently introduces her as a six-time World Amateur Boxing Champion, an Olympic bronze medallist from London 2012, and the first Indian woman boxer to win Asian Games gold. The Government of India has honoured her with the Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan.
Her public story is already familiar to a mass audience because of the 2014 biographical film Mary Kom, in which Priyanka Chopra portrayed her. During the Season 20 premiere, reports said she received a special video message from Chopra. That sporting and cinematic fame is why her reality-TV debut is treated as the season's biggest casting surprise: she is not a television serial regular, a YouTuber or a film star in the usual Bigg Boss sense, but a national sporting figure walking into an unscripted house.
Mary Kom has also spoken in public about Manipur. Entertainment reports from the opening week noted that she discussed the crisis in her home state on the show and described feeling helpless. Those remarks sit beside her sporting record rather than replacing it. This profile does not invent private family trivia; it records the career facts that explain why fans search for her name on a voting site.

Biography
Mary Kom entered Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 on 6 September 2026, with Salman Khan hosting, in an Alice in Wonderland-themed house. Zee News and NewsX listed her among 16 housemates drawn from television, Bhojpuri and Punjabi cinema, music, gaming, social media and sport. The season theme reported in premiere coverage is “Tathastu”, with a twist that can give contestants another chance even after elimination.
For viewers, her game is not about serial-style screen presence. It is about how a disciplined athlete handles kitchen politics, nominations, delayed sleep and arguments that have no referee. Weekend episodes will likely frame her as the season's respect figure; the daily live feed will show whether that respect turns into votes. Watch the Hindi vote page for nominations, then return here as weekly incidents accumulate.
This fan biography is written as a full profile for Bigg Boss Vote Glitz readers: it collects reported credits, public-season context and what the unscripted house actually tests. It is independent entertainment copy and is not an official broadcaster page. Family details, exact dates of birth and private relationships are included only when widely reported; otherwise they are omitted rather than guessed.
Inside the house the format is the same across languages: daily tasks, kitchen and store-room politics, captaincy, nominations and a weekend episode with the host. A contestant's earlier career matters because it shapes how fans read fights, alliances and evictions. Viewers who arrive from voting pages can use this article as the long-form companion to the live poll.
