Mithun, an eminent figure in the film industry since 1976, has been honored with numerous prestigious accolades, including the National Award. Renowned for his roles in iconic films like Disco Dancer, Jung, Prem Pratigyaa, Pyar Jhukta Nahin, and Mard, Mithun’s contributions have made a lasting impact.
Recently bestowed with the Padma Bhushan Award for 2024, Mithun expressed his joy and gratitude through his son Namashi’s social media. He shared, “I am very happy, filled with joy; the feeling of receiving such an honour, having achieved everything, is something I cannot express. When such a significant recognition comes after a lot of hardships, the feeling is something else.”
“Thank you to everyone for giving so much love and respect. And I am dedicating this award to all my fans in India and around the world. To all those who have given me selfless love, to my well-wishers, I am dedicating this to everyone. Thank you for giving me so much love and respect,” added the actor.
In July 2023, Mithun’s mother, Santirani Chakraborty, passed away in Mumbai due to geriatric issues. Mithun’s father, Basantokumar Chakraborty, also passed away in April 2020 at the age of 95 due to kidney failure.
