Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty has been discharged after he was admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata last week when he complained of severe chest pain. He was discharged this week and said he was “absolutely fine” and would resume shooting for his upcoming films.
The 73-year-old was admitted to a private hospital on February 10 after he complained of severe chest pain. The actor was also quoted saying, “There is actually no problem, I am absolutely fine. I have to keep control of my food habits. Let’s see; I may start working soon, maybe tomorrow.”
Mithun revealed that he had received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that he “got a scolding for not taking care of his health”. Earlier, the hospital had shared in an official statement that Mithun had been diagnosed with an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (stroke) of the brain.
Several senior doctors and therapists had reviewed the veteran actor’s health condition. He also underwent a series of clinical tests, including an MRI, a senior official of the medical facility said. Mithun was recently named a recipient of the Padma Bhushan Awardees 2024. He joined the BJP party in the presence of PM Modi at Kolkata’s historic Brigade Parade Ground on March 7, 2021.
