New Delhi: Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty recalled his tough times and rags to riches story on the singing reality show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs'. The actor revealed that he was ridiculed for his skin colour for many years and also talked about his struggling days and shared that he used to live on a footpath and didn’t know how he will get his next meal. 

“I never want anybody to go through what I have gone through in life. Everyone has seen struggles and fought through difficult days, but I was always called out for my skin colour. I have been disrespected for a lot of years because of my skin colour…,” the actor said. 

He also revealed he used to cry himself to sleep. “I have seen days when I had to sleep with an empty stomach, and I used to cry myself to sleep. In fact, there were days when I had to think about what my next meal will be, and where I will go to sleep. I have also slept on the footpath for a lot of days,” he added. 

The actor doesn’t want his biopic to be made ever as he feels his story will not inspire anyone but break them. “And that’s the only reason I don’t want my biopic to be ever made! My story will never inspire anyone, it will break them down (mentally) and discourage people from achieving their dreams. I don’t want that to happen! If I can do it, anyone else can do it. I have fought a lot to prove myself in this industry. I am not legendary because I have given hit movies, I am a legend because I have surpassed all the pains and struggles of my life,” he said. 

The actor will be seen with Padmini Kolhapure. on the show during the ‘Celebrating Disco Kings’ special episode.
