Mithun Chakraborty is one of the veteran actors of his time. He has featured in various hit Bollywood films. He will be seen gracing the Celebrating Disco Kings special episode of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs’ along with Padmini Kolhapure. He reveals why he doesn’t want a biopic on his life and also opens up on the discrimination he faced for his skin color.
He said, “I never want anybody to go through what I have gone through in life. Everyone has seen struggles and fought through difficult days, but I was always called out for my skin colour. I have been disrespected for a lot of years because of my skin colour and I have seen days when I had to sleep with an empty stomach, and I used to cry myself to sleep. In fact, there were days when I had to think about what my next meal will be, and where I will go to sleep. I have also slept on the footpath for a lot of days."
He further added, “And that’s the only reason I don’t want my biopic to be ever made! My story will never inspire anyone, it will break them down (mentally) and discourage people from achieving their dreams. I don’t want that to happen! If I can do it, anyone else can do it. I have fought a lot to prove myself in this industry. I am not legendary because I have given hit movies, I am a legend because I have surpassed all the pains and struggles of my life,” he said.
Speaking about the show, Zee TV’s ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, which gave talents like Shreya Ghoshal, Shekhar Ravijani, Kunal Ganjawala, Sugandha Mishra, Kamal Khan, Raja Hasan, and Vaishali Mhade to the industry, is currently in the 9th season of its children edition of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs’. On the career front, Mithun got his first break with the 1976 movie Mrigayaa. He has featured in the films like Disco Dancer (1982), Dance Dance (1987), Jung (1986), Mard (1998), Prem Pratigya (1989) and Tadipaar (1993) among others.
