Mimoh Chakraborty reveals father Mithun pushed Madalsa Sharma to take up Anupamaa: ‘She saw mega stardom’

In a recent conversation with Screen, a part of The Indian Express platform, Mimoh Chakraborty opened up about the journey of his wife Madalsa Sharma, who plays Kavya in the hit television show Anupamaa. He spoke at length about the moment she was offered the role and how his father, veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, played a key role in encouraging her to take the leap.

Mimoh recalled the timing of the offer, saying, “She got this show offered at the peak of COVID-19. Lockdown was in March and they started shooting in July. They were shooting in extreme conditions.” He revealed that it was Mithun who urged Madalsa to not miss the opportunity. “My dad pushed her and supported her to take this up. He always says that if you ever get a shot on TV, take it. He says that the generation today knows him because of TV, so we never let go of a good opportunity on TV if we get one.”

The decision turned out to be a major turning point for Madalsa. Speaking about her rise, Mimoh said, “She took it, and the show became a blockbuster. She saw mega-stardom. Everywhere she goes, it’s Anupamaa Ki Kavya. It’s a proud feeling as a husband.”

He also shed light on the amount of effort the role demands. “I have seen her waking up every day at 5 am, leaving at 6 am for the shoot, and being on set at 7 am. They would shoot till 9–10 pm, and she would be so tired that she would fall asleep while having dinner. There is so much work to do in TV, but she never gave up.”

The couple’s reflections reveal the intense grind behind television fame, and how one career-defining decision, backed by experience and guidance, can change everything.
