Veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty is recovering in a private hospital in Kolkata after undergoing a minor surgical procedure. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari visited the actor on Friday, reassuring well-wishers that Chakraborty was in stable condition and expected to be discharged soon. The veteran star, however, had reportedly wanted to keep his hospitalisation away from the public eye.

‘He did not want publicity’
Speaking to reporters after the visit, Adhikari revealed that Chakraborty had informed him and BJP’s West Bengal president Samik Bhattacharya about the surgery beforehand but had requested that it not be publicised.
“He had informed our party’s state president and me in West Bengal, Samik Bhattacharya, regarding it last night. He did not want publicity over the development. He is doing well. Will be released soon,” Adhikari was quoted as saying by Times of India.

The Chief Minister also met the doctors treating the veteran actor and expressed confidence that he would make a full recovery.
Calling Chakraborty an important figure in the state, Adhikari said, “His identity is beyond just his political life. His contribution behind the beginning of a nationalist government in West Bengal is immense. A small operation was performed. He is doing well now.”
Second hospital visit in two years
This is the second time Adhikari has visited Chakraborty during a hospital stay. In 2024, he had also met the actor after he underwent orthopaedic surgery on his hand.
Apart from his celebrated film career spanning several decades, Chakraborty has been an active BJP leader in West Bengal. He campaigned extensively for the party during the 2026 Assembly elections, which saw the BJP defeat the Trinamool Congress to form the government in the state.
