Mimoh Chakraborty, the son of veteran actors Mithun Chakraborty and Yogita Bali, recently shared that despite being a star kid himself, he is not friends with other star kids of his generation like Ranbir Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan. Mimoh said that his father Mithun shared a great friendship with the late Rishi Kapoor and continues to be friends with Amitabh Bachchan, but these friendships haven’t really transferred to the next generation.

In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Mimoh shared that a lot of these friendships are formed at a young age but since he was living in Ooty in his youth, he never interacted with film industry folk. Mimoh said that he has only met Ranbir Kapoor once at an award function, and there, too, it was Ranbir who came up to him and greeted him. “At that time, Ranbir was performing, and he was just passing by and he came and said hello. That was our only interaction,” he said.

Mimoh said that Hrithik Roshan is the reason he came into films, but despite being in Mumbai for almost 15 years, he has never met his idol. “I am such a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan. I’m in the industry because of him, and I’ve never met him, but I’ve met Rakesh sir. I met him and told him that I’m such a huge fan of your son and it’s my dream to meet him,” he said. The Haunted actor said that he never pursued it, because he did not want to sound “desperate.”

Talking about his encounter with other star kids, Mimoh said that he met Abhishek many years ago when Amitabh Bachchan was in the hospital for treatment, and he was accompanying his father. “I met Amit uncle and Abhishek was there. Abhishek gave me one advice, and at that time, Abhishek was very hot in the industry. He told me that ‘Mimoh, no matter how much they put you down, you get back up again and show them what you are’. I still remember this.”

Mimoh said that his debut film Jimmy released around the same time when Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor were also making their way in the industry, but they have all moved way ahead of him. “I am wishing well for them, but I get jealous also, I mean, I am a human being and I wish I was there. But I understood after a lot of years that nothing works when destiny plays its hand,” he said.

Mimoh was recently seen in the Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma film Jogira Sara Ra Ra.
