Mithunda Seeks Sharmila Tagore’s Blessing

The
70th
National
Awards
saw
some
beautiful
moments


on
stage
and
off
it.

What
caught
our
attention
was
Sharmila
Tagore’s
cute
moment
with
Mithun
Chakraborty
when
the
Bengali
movie
legends
caught
up
with
each
other.

Rinkudi
blesses
Mithun

da,
who
was
honoured
with
the
Dadasaheb
Phalke
Award.

Please
read
Mithun’s


terrific
journey
from
a
nobody
to
a
national
icon.

Rinkudi,
who
made
her
cinematic
debut
in
Manikda*’s
classic

Apur
Sansar,
and
Mithunda,
who
first
earned
national
notice
playing
a
Naxalite
in
Mrinalbabu**’s

Mrigayaa,
have
worked
only
once
together,
in
1981’s

Kalankini
Kankabati.

Rinkudi‘s
heartwarming
film

Gulmohar
was
also
recognised
at
the
National
Awards,
and
Mithunda
extends
his
warm
congratulations
as
well.
