I'm open to television now: Mimoh

Mahaakshay Chakraborty aka Mimoh, last seen in 'Ishqedarriyaan', opens up about what has he been up to, what defines success and his thoughts on the failure of his last movie at the box office. We caught up with the actor to dig deeper… read on.

Talking about his movie, he shared, “Ishqedarriyaan is a beautiful film. You will agree with me when you see it. I enjoyed and loved every moment of being a part of the film.”

Does being the son of a superstar bog you down?

“I have answered this question like a billion times. Since you have asked me for the billionth time plus one, I will say 'no', it doesn't bog me down. I love the challenges it presents to me. I love the victory I feel when I overcome all the obstacles.”

Will we see you sharing screen space with your father?

“I already shared space with dad in 'Enemmy' and yes, if the opportunity presents itself, I will do it yet again. It is an honor to work with a powerhouse like my Dad.”

We don't see your mom making too many appearances. Is that a personal choice?

“Mom is super shy of the media. So yes, she keeps herself away from the limelight. But she is the foundation that keeps our family intact and together.”

Is Bollywood a difficult ball game?

“Life is a difficult ball game! Everything about life is tough but you see, that is the beauty of it. Whether it is life or Bollywood or the cut-throat competition, those things only make you tougher and make you realize you were a bad ass to begin with. All you needed was that push of competition to unleash it.”

Do you think survival in this industry is difficult?

“Survival is the greatest trait of us human beings. If we aren't tested and haven’t tasted defeat, we won't ever fight back. This is my 8th year in the industry and I am still fighting. I guess that proves that in order to survive, we have to know what it feels like to be at the bottom. Only when you hit rock bottom can you rise up from the ashes.”

Are you open to television too?

“I'm open to anything if I feel I can portray my acting capabilities to the max.”

All the best Mimoh!
