Mimoh Chakraborty reveals going through 'DARK PHASES': 'My father has been..'

Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty's son Mimoh Chakraborty who is currently a part of the superhit web series Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, got in an exclusive chat with India Forums and spoke about his journey in showbiz, revealing that it has been full of trials and turbulations, stating that he has always taken them in the right spirit.

“It all comes down to destiny. Some people get opportunities early, while others get them later. There is a higher power—call it God, energy, fate, or timing—that has a plan for everyone. I have auditioned for countless roles, waited in lines, faced rejection after rejection, and I’ve accepted that rejection is my best friend. But I also know that if you trust the process, the right moment will come. For me, that moment was Khakee. It was meant to be,” he says.

He adds, “My only expectation is that everyone who watches the show enjoys it. That’s what we worked for. Whatever response I’m getting now from the audience—it moves me, humbles me, and fills me with gratitude. People are investing five and a half hours of their lives watching this show. They subscribe to Netflix, they give us their time, and they appreciate us for it. That is the greatest feeling ever. I just hope I keep getting more opportunities to entertain people. Whether it’s making them happy, scaring them, making them cry, or making them excited—this is my passion. If I continue to get such beautiful opportunities, I will be forever grateful.”

Ask him how he made it through the dark times, and he says, “Dark times are a part of life, and I have faced my share of them. During those phases, I relied on my inner strength and the support of my loved ones. I believe in staying positive and focusing on solutions rather than problems. Meditation, working out, and surrounding myself with good energy have helped me navigate those challenging moments. Every difficult phase passes, and what matters is how we come out of it—stronger and wiser.”

And what about giving up hope? “There were times when things felt overwhelming, but I never allowed myself to give up. Giving up is never an option for me. I believe in pushing through, no matter how tough the situation gets. Every struggle teaches you something, and those lessons shape you into a stronger person. I have always believed that perseverance and patience lead to great things. Challenges are just stepping stones toward achieving something bigger in life,” he says.

His father, legendary actor Mithun Chakraborty, has been a huge beacon of hope for the actor. “Family plays a crucial role in shaping one’s character, and for Mimoh, his father has been a guiding force. “My father has been my biggest inspiration. From him, I’ve learned that no matter how successful you become, staying grounded is key. He always tells me that hard work and perseverance never go to waste. Watching his journey, his struggles, and his triumphs has given me the strength to never lose faith in myself,” he says.
