After the bout, Mary Kom didn't shake hands with opponent Nikhat Zareen. Speaking about the incident, Zareen said, "I did not like how she (Mary Kom) behaved with me, because when the decision was announced and I tried to hug her, she did not hug me back. Being a junior I expect from seniors that they respect juniors too, so I felt hurt." After the match, Mary Kom remarked, "Why should I shake hands with her? If she wants others to respect her then she should first respect others. I don't like people with such nature"
