Veteran actor Shakti Kapoor shared an incident from his days at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) involving actor Mithun Chakraborty, who was his senior back then. Shakti revealed that Mithun, along with his friends, subjected him to hours of ragging. He recalled how Mithun cut his hair and locked him in a room at night, leading him to cry and plead for mercy.
During an episode of the Timeout with Ankit podcast, Shakti mentioned meeting Ravi Varman and Anil Varman while traveling from Delhi to Pune. Ravi’s sister was married into Vinod Khanna’s family, so they visited her house in Mumbai. During their stay, they dined at five-star hotels with Vinod Khanna, Rakesh Roshan, and Rajesh Roshan, who were family friends from the film industry.
The actor said that Rakesh accompanied them to the hostel, and on entering, he saw a man working out. The man, who was Mithun, introduced himself to Rakesh and touched his feet. When Shakti asked him, ‘Do you want to have some beer?’ he replied, “I don’t drink.”
The actor shared that after Rakesh and Pramod Khanna left, Mithun held Shakti by the hair, reminding him of his seniority, took Shakti into a room, put him in a corner, and called two friends. They turned off the lights, shined a spotlight on Shakti, and asked, “Do you want to drink beer?”
