Here is why Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mimoh regrets past decision

Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mimoh Chakraborty entered into the industry in 2008 released film Jimmy. However, the film didn’t do well and the star kid failed miserably. Now when he look back at his career he admits that he would have done “everything differently.”

He elaborates, “Today I only look back and criticise myself. I was 23 when I was launched and I am going to be 38 in a couple of months. Now, I understand that I was such an idiotic kid back in the day. I should have done things so differently.”

Having said that, Mimoh Chakraborty says he is glad those events occurred since they provided him with new perspectives on a variety of issues. “If it had not happened, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today. I understand and cinema more deeply and emotionally today. I know what a product and story means to me. I am glad I did those stupid things back then in order to be the mature person I am today,” he tells us.

While the fight to find and keep good employment became more intense as he progressed in his profession, the strain of having a famous family heritage was also something he had to contend with on a daily basis.

While the struggle to find a decent work became more genuine as he progressed in his profession, he also had to contend with the pressures of having a famous family lineage.

“My brother (Namashi) is also facing it immensely now as his film is going to be out soon. I am still facing the pressure. Dad’s work is unlimited, the man just keeps on going and there is no stopping him. So you can imagine how big the shoes are,” he says.

So how do they battle criticism being star kids? “It just makes us more thick skinned and we realize that people will hate you no matter what,” the actor replies and elaborates, “There are people out there who diminish the fact that we come from a family. My mom and dad are part of the movie business and so am I by default. I won’t call it privilege. There is nothing privileged about my career. My father never asked anyone to give me a privileged offer. He told me that if I wanted something I have to earn it. My father never let me use the privilege of my family name. My brother is fighting his own battles, I am facing my own demons.”

However, the actor is currently searching for additional work and is content with what he is getting: he just starred in the short film Ab Mujhe Udna Hai and has two films in the works: Rosh and Jogira Sara Ra Ra.

“When I meet people for work now, all they keep saying is oh it is a comeback. It is not a comeback. I never went away or leave. I just didn’t get any work. There is a big difference. Comeback is when you leave and then come back. I have been struggling all this while and. I am very proud of my struggles,” he ends.
