Mithun slit his chest for me: Big B

“A dedicated follower and one that has always been respected by the fraternity,his concern and love for all is legendary – slit his chest and took a pledge on his blood for my well being during my Coolie episode. How can one ever forget that,” the 67-year-old star wrote in his blog.

Bachchan was critically injured in the intestines while filming a fight scene in the 1983 film with co-star Puneet Issar which almost cost him his life.

Big B also recounted Mithun’s loyalty for him on the sets of his film 1976 ‘Do Anjane’ in which Mithun did a cameo.

“During the shoot for Do Anjane at Calcutta he used to run around enthusiastically ready to carry my bags for me. I would desist from him doing this,but he went ahead and did it always,” Bachchan wrote.

Mithun had to go through a lot of struggle to establish himself in Bollywood as an actor and made a name for being a dancing star.

“He danced at parties and possessed a million dollar smile – open,uncomplicated and full of warmth. But look where he is today. At the top of his creativity – I simply loved him in ‘Guru’,” Bachchan added.
