Mimoh Chakraborty stands up for Mithun Chakraborty’s choice of B-Grade movies; says, “He did it for us”

It all happened during his interaction with Siddharth Kanan. As he addressed Mithun Chakraborty doing B-Grade films, he asserted, “Honestly, my mother has seen his downfalls more than us. When we were kids, dad was a megastar, and mom would tell us that whenever he delivered a flop, he would go into depression. He was doing four shifts a day at that time, spending two hours each on each set. In fact, he introduced the concept of vanity vans here. Touch wood, us kids never witnessed those dark phases.”

Explaining his take further, Mimoh added, “He did it for us, he did it for the hotel. Every unit from Bollywood movies, and also from the South, they’d stay at our hotel, so there was always an influx. He was doing it for the money, but it wasn’t like his producers were going into losses.”

He continued and said, “If they were spending Rs 70 lakh on a film, they were getting Rs 1 crore in return. He never had any qualms. Even today, he’s doing Dance Bangla Dance, Dance India Dance… Everything he does, he does it for us. I’m very proud to say this, but his first and last thought is always his family.”

Mimoh also shared that he and his siblings used to feel “scared” when their father, Mithun, would talk about his struggles. Mithun would often have nowhere to sleep when his roommate would ask him to leave. He wouldn't know how he would get his next meal, and he would even clean the gym bathroom in exchange for using it.
