The coach of the gym, Narjit Singh (Sunil Thapa) is the coach of the Asian Champion Dingko Singh, and Kom tells him about her boxing aspirations. He asks her to visit the gym for next thirty days and says that he will only teach her if she is deserving enough. She starts visiting the gym, telling her mother but not her father. Days pass but her father does not enquire about her. Due to Kom's dedication and stubbornness, Coach Singh starts training her, suggesting she change her name to Mary Kom. After winning the state level Championship, her father confronts her for hiding about the sport from him. Her father asks her to choose between him and boxing: she chooses the sport. Kom has to fight a wrestler to arrange money to get her household cow back, which is where she meets the footballer Onler Kom. After watching the 2002 Women's World Amateur Boxing Championships on television, Kom reconciles with her father, who apologises to her for not understanding her passion for the sport. Meanwhile, Onler proposes to her and agrees never to ask her to leave boxing. After she wins the 2006 Women's World Amateur Boxing Championships, Kom agrees to marry him; however, her Coach shows his unhappiness towards Kom's marriage decision. After her marriage, Kom becomes pregnant. She does not participate and gives up her career to look after her family. Kom gives birth to twins and applies for a government job. However, when offered the position of a constable she refuses, feeling that as a world-champion boxer, she is above that position. It devastates her to learn that people no longer recognise her. Onler encourages her to revive her boxing training. She joins the gym again, leaving her husband to look after the babies at home. Her coach is still upset about her decision to marry, but Kom makes a comeback in the National Boxing Championship. Despite performing better than her opponent, she loses the match due to the apparent partiality of the judges. Kom throws a chair in anger towards them, resulting in a ban. She later makes a written apology, and the official accepts it, not without insulting her. Kom then asks Coach Singh to train her, as she thinks that he is the one who can get the best out of her. He starts training her with gruelling activities and she reaches the finals of the 2008 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. Meanwhile, Onler Kom informs her about one of her children having a hole in their heart. In the subsequent fight, Kom fails to defend herself. After a knockout punch from her opponent, Kom hallucinates about her husband and children in the audience. She regains her strength and fights back, winning the 2008 Women's World Amateur Boxing Championships.
