00:00Today I'm going to tell you the story of a legendary actor who slept on marine drive before
00:04becoming a star. Well, there was once a young man who came to Mumbai with nothing. Not dreams,
00:11nothing. Because even dreams needed a place to sleep. He would roam the streets during the day
00:16looking for work and at night when he had no money for the room, he would lie down on the
00:22cold stones of marine drive. Some would look at him with pity, some with irritation. But he kept
00:28telling himself only one thing. That is, one day they will all know my name. But life got even
00:34harsher. He worked as a waiter, he worked at a disco, as a dance instructor and he didn't know
00:41English. He didn't know the industry. All he had was hunger and drive. And then came that one audition,
00:49one dance performance, one shot. He didn't just pass the test, he set the damn screen on fire.
00:55The actor I'm talking about is Mithun Chakrabarti. Years later, the same city that had ignored him
01:01once lined up outside theatres to watch disco dancer. He became a national craze, a household name,
01:09a phenomenon. And today, when people talk about stardom, they forget something important.
01:15Mithun Chakrabarti didn't rise from the bottom, he rose from the pavement.
01:25Mithun Chakrabarti.
01:35Mithun Chakrabarti.
