Meanwhile, doctors have kept him under observation.
Whether the actor needs to be admitted or not will depend on the final examination by the doctors. Currently, the discomfort experienced by Chakraborty is much less. Our sources say, the doctors do not see any reason or symptoms to worry about and the actor has just been kept under observation.
Earlier this year, Mithun Chakraborty was conferred with the Padma Bhushan award for this contribution to Indian cinema. On the 75th Republic Day, Chakraborty was honoured with the third-highest civilian honour. Reacting to the same, the actor and politician expressed his gratitude.
He shared in a post in Bengali, “I am proud, I am happy to have received this award. I would like to thank everyone. I have never asked anything for myself from anyone. I am experiencing the feeling of receiving something without asking today. It’s a different feeling altogether. It’s a great feeling.”
