Recently, he opened up about a significant heartbreak he experienced when his then-girlfriend parted ways with him during a challenging period in his life. This confession sheds light on the personal hurdles he faced along his path to success.

During his appearance on an episode of the reality TV show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,' Mithun Chakraborty shared a personal anecdote from his love life while interacting with a contestant who was experiencing heartbreak.

Mithun Chakraborty talks about his past relationship

Sharing his heartbreak story, Mithun said, " Aise he hua tha mere saath. Ishq kar baitha tha, pagal hogaya tha. Phir ek din wohi hua, ladki chod ke chali gayi. Phir samay badla. Main star se superstar phir maha super star bangaya. (I fell in love and had gone completely mad. But one day she left me. Then times changed, I became a star, then a superstar and then an even bigger superstar.)"

Years later, the actor revealed that he met her on an aeroplane, and he noticed that she was trying to avoid eye contact with him. “Main utha aur gaya, maine pucha ‘nazar kyu nahi mila rahi?’ (I got up and went up to her and asked why she was not looking at me) She turned her face. I thought she was feeling guilty. To ease her, I told her ‘what you did at that time was right’,” he said.

Mithun Chakraborty, who is fondly called as Bollywood’s ‘Disco Dancer’, revealed that his words relaxed her. He said he told her that her decision of not wanting to stay with someone who was struggling at that time was not wrong, and right for her.

When she broke down regretting her decision of leaving the actor, he said, "Shayad tum nahi karti toh yeh legend nahi ban pata (Maybe if you hadn’t done that, I would not have been able to become this legend).”
