Taking to his Instagram handle, Madhur shared photos and videos from the sets of Shastri, in which he can be seen sitting next to the veteran star. In one of the videos, he can be heard saying, "I am in Kolkata on the sets of Shastri, and I am with one and only the great Mithun Chakraborty, Mithun da”.

The 73-year-old then adds, "I have known this man (Madhur) since his young age. He used to sell video cassettes. My wife would call him and say, ‘Madhur I need this cassette,’ and he would come. Now look, this man is a five-time National Award winner. This only happens when your dream comes true. I always tell people that your dreams should come true. Hard work and all will happen, but dreams should come true”.
Sharing the post, he wrote, “I met @mithunchakrabortyofficial in #Kolkata and was thrilled to see him back on set, in great health. My bond with Mithunda dates back to my teen years when I used to deliver video cassettes. He has always been a source of courage and inspiration. #fanboy #MithunChakraborty."
What did Mithun say about his discharge post-brain stroke?
Chakraborty during his address after leaving the hospital attributed his health setback to overeating but assured the public that aside from this, he faced no other complications. “I eat like a demon. So I was punished. My advice for everyone is control your diet. Those who are diabetic should not have the misconception that consuming sweets will not make any difference. Control your diet" he said.
