Bollywood Super Star Amitabh Bachchan has tweeted "Mary Kom!! wins boxing bout, insured (sic) a Bronze! What a story! A Mother of two from Assam, creates moment of pride for India!!".

This has angered many people in North eastern states and some have even questioned whether the actor has deserved to carry the Olympic torch or not.
