Today the day is a very special day for cinema veteran artist Mithun Chakraborty. Today is the birthday of actor Mithun Chakraborty, who has a special identity in Bollywood known as Mithun Da. It was on this day in 1952 that he was born in Bangladesh. The acting debut of Mithun was made by art film Mrigaya, for which he also received the first National Film Award for Best Actor. Let us know today about some of the highlights of Mithun Da's 67th birthday.

Positive attitude to life

They say that 'altitude' is like Mount Everest, and attitude should be like Mithun Da. A robber had become Valmiki and was a Naxalite Gaurang who became superstar Mithun Da. Yes, before joining the film industry, Mithun da used to be a Naxalite. But after his brother's death, he showed the right direction to his life.

Now comes wrestling. No one knew that the man who won the West Bengal State Wrestling Championship in 1967 would one day become the disco king and superstar of Bollywood. Then the wheel of time turned around in such a way that Mithun Da won the National Film Award.

A good actor, a good person

The superstar, who emerged from Kolkata, the capital of Bengal, started coming into films from 1976 and starred in more than 350 Bollywood films in the past four-and-a-half decades. A lot of movies in Bangla, Oriya and Bhojpuri also have his names. His image had changed since the musical film Disco Dancer (1982) and then other musical films, Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki(1984) and Dance Dance (1987) recognized him as an outstanding dancer.
