Bigg Boss season 20 started a few days ago, and the show has been making headlines for multiple reasons. In one of the recent episodes of the show, a statement by Mary Kom grabbed everyone's attention, and she faced backlash on social media. During a conversation with Qazi Touqeer, when the singer was talking about other female sports personalities, Mary interrupted and said, "Mere jaisa koi achieve nahi kiya (No one has achieved like me)." This statement didn't go down well with netizens, and they slammed the boxer. Now, her team has shared an apology for the same.
The apology read, "We apologise if Mary's words were misunderstood. There was never any intention to demean or compare the journey with that of another athlete. Mary has immense respect for every athlete who represents India and gives their heart and soul to the sport."
The statement further read, "Every journey is unique, every achievement matters, and every medal makes India proud (sic)."
