When Mithun Chakraborty spoke about his childhood with his parents

In one of his earlier interviews with Anand Bazaar Online, Mithun had opened up about his childhood days and recalled the type of upbringing he received. He mentioned that for the longest time, his parents never believed that he had established himself as a film star.

“My parents never realised that I had finally became a Bollywood star. They never came to terms with the fact that their son is a popular film star, neither were they keen to find out. They were simple, orthodox people who led simple lives.  My father was a supervisor at a government telephone exchange office, but he was a happy man with a happy family.”
