The announcement of Mithun Chakraborty receiving the Dadasaheb Phalke Award comes just months after he was honoured with the Padma Bhushan. The Padma Bhushan ceremony took place in April, where the veteran actor accepted the award from President Droupadi Murmu.
Expressing his emotions after the recognition, Mithun said, “I am very happy. I have never asked for anything for myself from anyone in my life. When I received a call from the Home Ministry informing me that I was being awarded the Padma Bhushan, I was silent for a minute because I had not expected it.”
Mithun Chakraborty made his acting debut in 1977 with Mrigayaa, and remarkably, won a National Award for his performance in his first film. He quickly rose to fame and became a household name after the release of Disco Dancer in 1982, a film that achieved phenomenal success across Asia, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa.
Over the years, Mithun starred in numerous iconic films, including Agneepath, Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye, Hum Se Hai Zamana, Pasand Apni Apni, Ghar Ek Mandir, and Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki, among many others. In recent years, he appeared in films like OMG: Oh My God, continuing his legacy in Indian cinema.
