After receiving ‘Dada Saheb Phalke Award’, Mithun made everyone emotional with his speech. He said that when he came into the film industry, everyone told him that he could never become an actor because his complexion was very dark. Mithun never gave up and won people’s hearts with his dance. He said that you must have noticed that whenever he danced, the camera remained towards his feet only.
Mithun Chakraborty Said that he did not stop, he kept dancing as long as the camera remained on his feet, where there was no facial work. He struggled a lot and gives credit to his own hard work for getting to where he is today. Earlier he had many complaints against God, but all those complaints ended after receiving this award. Besides, he also thanked God.
