For an aging star, even a sneeze is a luxury. Mithun Chakraborty got himself checked into hospital a few days ago.The speculators of the entertainment media got busy writing alarmist reports of his health.

I connected with Mithunda’s wife and son for a true report of the actor’s health.

Mithunda’s media shy wife Yogeeta Bali(herself a notable star of the 1970s) says, “He’s absolutely okay now.His sugar levels had shot up. Now it’s totally under control.”

Mithunda’s son Mimoh told me, “Dad is a hundred percent fine. He was admitted to the hospital for a routine sugar-level checkup.”

Some time ago in December when I had interviewed Mithunda for his touching performance in Kabuliwala, we had spoken about his unfulfilled wishes he had passionately replied, “None, absolutely nothing, Subhash my friend.I have got more than I ever dreamt of. Bass abb sirf ek tamanna hai. I want good health for myself and my family.”
