Mithun Chakraborty, a seasoned actor, has been discharged from a Kolkata private hospital where he was admitted on February 10 due to severe chest pain. According to the most recent report from the PTI news agency, he left the hospital on February 12 afternoon. Emphasizing his well-being, Mithun stated that he was ‘perfectly fine’ and intended to return to filming his forthcoming movies.

‘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,’ he said.

Mithun disclosed that he received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 11, during which he ‘received a scolding’ for neglecting his health.

Previously, the hospital issued an official statement revealing that Mithun had been diagnosed with an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (stroke) of the brain. A team of senior doctors and therapists assessed the veteran actor's health condition, conducting a range of clinical tests, including an MRI scan, according to a senior official at the medical facility.

The official statement read, ‘Shri Mithun Chakraborty (73), National Award-winning actor, was brought to the Emergency Department of Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata, around 9.40 am with complaints of weakness in the right upper and lower limbs. Necessary laboratory and radiology investigations were carried out including an MRI of the brain. He has been diagnosed with an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) of the brain. Presently, he is fully conscious, well-oriented and has consumed soft diet. Shri Chakraborty is being further evaluated by a team of doctors including a neuro-physician, cardiologist and a gastroenterologist.’

‘He is recuperating well, is fully conscious, well-oriented, active, and has consumed a soft diet. He will undergo certain investigations before his discharge,’ read the last update from the medical facility.

Mithun, who was recently named as one of the recipients of the Padma Bhushan Award in 2024, had joined the BJP party in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Kolkata's historic Brigade Parade Ground on March 7, 2021.
