Deep within the tranquil greenery of Madh Island lies Mimoh Cottage, a sprawling 1.5-acre property that has been the cherished family retreat of the legendary Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty for many years. Known affectionately as Mimoh Cottage, this private domain is far from a conventional bungalow; it is a secluded haven, brimming with cherished memories from the actor's personal and professional life.
The property was purchased by Mithun and his family in 1985, just months after the birth of their eldest son, Mimoh. In honor of his eldest son, the estate was christened Mimoh Cottage. Namashi Chakraborty, Mithun's younger son, recently granted Pinkvilla an exclusive tour of the property, offering viewers a rare peek into this lavish family home.
Namashi explained that the sprawling estate was meticulously designed to provide each member of the family their own private sanctuary. Rather than cramping everyone under one roof, Mimoh Cottage consists of several inter-connected yet independent cottages, each serving a distinct purpose. For Mithun and his family, this arrangement fostered a sense of individuality, ensuring that each child could enjoy ample space and privacy.
The property boasts multiple cottages, including dedicated spaces for work, fitness, and entertaining guests. Amidst the lush foliage, a secluded gym cottage offers a private haven for exercise and relaxation. Another cottage has been skillfully converted into an office, a fascinating space for Bollywood enthusiasts, housing a Wall of Fame that chronicles the illustrious career of the actor.
This office also houses a rare collection of archival materials, including photographs from Mithun's FTII days, as well as images from his early days in the industry.
At the heart of the office lies a large wooden conference table, a piece of celluloid history. According to the details shared during the home tour, many iconic tracks, including the popular number "Julie Julie," were first pitched and approved in informal weekend sessions held within its confines in the late 1980s. The office and its artifacts offer a unique glimpse into the private world of one of Hindi cinema's most iconic figures.
