Overview
- Mary Kom posted an Instagram video apologizing to those offended by her Aap Ki Adalat comments and clarifying that she did not intend to demean men or footballers.
- Her apology follows backlash to a viral line about her ex-husband — "Ek rupiya bhi nahi kamaya" — delivered during an emotional TV segment.
- Kom said the remarks came in a moment of overwhelm after years of hurt and added that she has tried to maintain dignity and silence since her April 2025 divorce.
- She reiterated respect for football and cited icons such as Sunil Chhetri and Bhaichung Bhutia, while disputing claims that her ex sacrificed a football career for her.
- The underlying dispute remains unresolved, with Kom alleging financial wrongdoing by Onler and her ex denying it while accusing her of extramarital affairs; online reaction to her apology was sharply split.
