  "account": "Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty's 1.5-acre Madh Island estate is a sprawling property adorned with 22 pets, separate living quarters for various family members, and a fully equipped in-house studio. Known as Mimoh Cottage after his eldest son, the 65,000 square foot property was purchased by his parents in 1985, a few months after the birth of Mithun's elder brother Mimoh.\n\nMithun, a gardening enthusiast, takes pride in maintaining the lush greenery surrounding the estate. His first home in Mumbai, a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, served as his temporary residence when he first arrived in the city. Though the car is no longer drivable, Mithun continues to spend money on its upkeep.\n\nThe estate is divided into individual cottages for each family member. One cottage has been transformed into a state-of-the-art gym, another houses an office, another is designated for guests, and the last one, located opposite the guest accommodation, serves as the residence for Mithun and his wife.\n\nThe property also boasts a wall of fame, showcasing Mithun's illustrious career in Tollywood and Bollywood. Photos of him with notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and political figure Bal Thackeray, adorn the walls, alongside a picture of him receiving the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Additionally, a separate section has been converted into a professional studio, called Myrnd Bungalow, available for wedding bookings and film shoots. The estate has also been the venue for several grand Diwali parties featuring star-studded guest lists, including legendary actors Dharmendra and Jeetendra.",
