Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mimoh says that Bollywood is not privileged I am facing my demons…
As the son of Bollywood superstars Mithun Chakraborty and Yogeeta Bali, Mahaakshay Chakraborty, aka Mimoh Chakraborty, says he continues to 'face the pressure.' Mimoh, who has been out of work since his debut in the 2008 film Jimmy, claims that being a star kid' has its drawbacks.
Mimoh disclosed in his interview, “It just makes us more thick-skinned and we realize that people will hate you no matter what. 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 brother is fighting his own battles, I am facing my own demons. Dad’s work is unlimited. You can imagine how big the shoes are.”
He further adds “Today, I only look back and criticize 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…. If it had not happened, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today. I am glad I did those stupid things back then in order to be the mature person I am today.”
He also says that people keep telling him that his short film Ab Mujhe Udhna Hain is his comeback, to that he replies, “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 left. I just didn’t get any work. There is a big difference. A comeback is when you leave and then come back. I have been struggling all this while.”
