Unveiling her autobiography Unbreakable, Bachchan told IANS : "Mary Kom is already a legendary figure in the country, loved and admired by all. She has made innumerable contributions in breaking stereotypes about women, more so from the north-east.
"The book beautifully brings out her indestructible spirit and is an inspirational read for everyone."
Explaining why she decided to pen her autobiography, Kom said: "My struggle has been one that many in our country face, especially women. The reason I decided to pen my story down was so others could read it and feel that if I could achieve what I have, so can they."
The sportswoman's story is also being made into a film produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Priyanka Chopra.
On meeting the former Miss World, Kom said Chopra was the right person to portray her life on film.
The flyweight boxing champion has been personally training the actress for the role.
