Veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty was admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata after he complained of chest pain on Saturday morning.
Sources close to the actor said that he was feeling uneasy, following which he was taken to a private hospital. He is currently undergoing treatment.
Mithun Chakraborty was recently conferred the prestigious Padma Bhushan Award, reports India Today.
The actor and politician expressed his feelings post the news and said in a video in Bengali, “I am proud, I am happy to have received this award. I would like to thank everyone. I have never asked anything for myself from anyone. I am experiencing the feeling of receiving something without asking today. It’s a different feeling altogether. It’s a great feeling.”
Meanwhile, Mithun was last seen in the Bengali film 'Kabuliwala'. It released in the theatres in December 2023. The film has been directed by Suman Ghosh. While speaking to Hindustan Times Bangla about the film, Mithun said, "Kabuliwala is not just any film that I thought of doing casually.
Although it's a Bengali film, it's important to remember that it's about an Afghan speaking Bengali, not a Bengali-speaking Afghan. Nowadays, everyone observes everything very minutely, so this was a big deal. The film shows how an Afghan learns Bengali and speaks it with a mix of Hindi and Bengali."
