Trouble in paradise?

The report further suggests that Onler was not keen in entering the political arena but only agreed to contest elections on Mary's request.

"It was Mary's idea. He didn't want to contest and had warned her that Manipur's political landscape was volatile at the time," Hindustan Times quoted a source as saying. "After the defeat, things worsened. Their usual marital disagreements turned serious, and Mary moved into her Faridabad house with the kids."

However, there has been no official communication on the matter from the couple. 

Meanwhile, a boxer, on the condition of anonymity, revealed something shocking. He was quoted saying, "The separation rumours about Mary Kom and Onler might not be just rumours. No one knows the reason for sure, though. Everyone whispers about Mary ma'am being in a relationship with another boxer's husband. Speculation has been fuelled further by her recent Instagram posts featuring him as her business associate."
