(Photos: Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Mimoh Chakraborty/Instagram)Actor Mimoh Chakraborty‘s movie career has not been very fruitful so far. Since his debut film, Mimoh has, unfortunately, not been able to catapult himself into the stardom that many aspire to. However, he is content with his journey, having been fortunate enough to be guided by superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, among others. During a recent appearance on SCREEN’s “Dear Me…”, Mimoh recalled his fond memories with the two Bollywood icons. Like other kids from a film lineage, Mimoh Chakraborty also shared his views on nepotism and recalled the advice Abhishek Bachchan once gave him.Talking about how he dealt with negativity after Jimmy (2008) didn’t do well, Mimoh said, “I remember meeting Abhishek Bachchan during my dull phase; he has also gone through all of this. He eventually became such a big star with his charisma and fights. He said, ‘No matter what the world tells you, never stop believing in yourself and fight back.’ I remember that even today. Everything I read about me was a stepping stone to something else.”Also Read: Mimoh Chakraborty recalls the ‘mega stardom’ wife Madalsa Sharma saw with Anupamaa: ‘My dad Mithun Chakraborty pushed her to take it up’Mimoh Chakraborty also spoke about how Salman Khan was always there for him. “Salman bhai is a very loving man; he and my dad (veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty) have been very close. Their friendship is something I look up to; Dad and Bhai have been the best of friends. The same love he has given me as well. Whenever I want to talk to him, he is always there. I am very fortunate to get that love and attention from him. Not just him, even Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Arjun Rampal… they all have done this for me. I have been very fortunate to meet these amazing people, and whenever I have met them, they have always guided me to do something better in life. It is very rare to have this; our industry is very cut-throat and competitive. When you meet superstars like these who are willing to advise you for your betterment, I feel very fortunate.” Mimoh said.He also recalled the first time he met Salman Khan and said, “Salman bhai has always gone out of his way to do something for me. I love him for that. I remember in Ooty, he had come for shooting and was sitting with that. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a bandana; the aura he had was ‘my god!’ He was sitting in Dad’s office when I was introduced. I was a kid back then and had this Polaroid camera. So I asked Dad to click my picture with him, and the next day I showed that photo to everybody in my school.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahaakshay Chakraborty (@mimohchakraborty) Also Read | Salman Khan used Mimoh Chakraborty’s career struggles as an example to motivate AD on Sultan set: ‘He isn’t even getting a chance to struggle’Mimoh also recalled how SRK played games with him on his computer during the shooting of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He said, “Even with SRK… they were shooting for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and staying in our Monarch Hotel. Imagine King Khan coming to our room! He was sitting with Dad, and then he opened my PC to play Flight Simulator with me and my brother Rimo. Both of us were looking at each other and thinking, ‘King Khan was sitting with us!’ He was so nice.”Commenting on the popular belief that star kids get opportunities very easily, Mimoh Chakraborty gave his take on nepotism. He said, “It’s not true. Why is nepotism given such a bad reputation? We are attracted to this world we have been exposed to since we were kids. We just know people. I know Salman Khan, SRK, and other great people, but they don’t owe me anything. They love my father, but they don’t owe my father anything, nor does he. There is a familiarity, but that’s it. I can go to Salman bhai and ask him how he is doing, but nothing beyond that. I don’t use the word ‘star kid’ because I feel it’s like a curse word for us. People from the film lineage will be given the opportunity, but in the end, it is always the hard work, the mantle, your talent, your thirst and hunger, and above all, your destiny. I am the poster boy of anti-nepotism, and I am very proud of it. But having said that, everyone deserves an opportunity.”Nawaz Kochra is an enthusiastic entertainment journalistic for the last 9 years, he has been a known face and successfully worked with some big publications.
