In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Mimoh said, "The meanest things were like they were making fun of my mom. I would understand for my dad, yes, carrying his legacy. Mere zariye, they were insulting dad, because you cannot pinpoint and say ki Mithun Chakraborty isme kharab tha. (They were insulting my father through me because they knew they can't say that Mithun was wrong in this). It's because his legacy is so strong, toh unko laga chalo Mimoh ke through humlog Mithun Chakraborty ko bhi gaali de denge (They thought 'let's abuse Mithun Chakraborty through Mimoh')."
The 40-year-old actor added that there were many people in the industry who insulted his family. "Forget normal people, audience, it was people from the industry jo khule aam jaake mom ka mazaak uda rahe the. (People from the industry were joking about my mother) And it became a little too much for me. Ki yaar mere tak thik hai, dad tak thik hai, but mom pe mat jaao, (it is fine with me, it is fine with dad, but don't target my mother.) You know. But then I know we all go through this," Mimoh said.
Mimoh made his debut in 2008 with Jimmy directed by Raj N Sippy, which also starred Vivana Singh and Rahul Dev. The film was panned by critics and audiences and holds a rating of 1.7/10 on IMDb. After that, he was seen in couple of Hindi and Bengali films like Haunted 3D, Loot, Rocky and some shorts like Holy Smoke! and Ab Mujhe Udhnaa hai.
The actor's latest is Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, a thriller series created by Neeraj Pandey and directed by Debatma Mondal and Tushar Kanti Ray. The series has an ensemble cast led by Prosenjit Chatterjee and includes Jeet, Saswata Chatterjee, Ritwik Bhowmik, Chitrangada Singh, and Aadil Zafar Khan and Parambrata Chatterjee.

(Picture Courtesy:Facebook) Dhyan Sreenivasan is finally celebrating a box office success this year with the murder mystery 'Detective Ujjwalan'. As per the Sacnilk reports, the film has collected Rs 5.56 crore worldwide in ten days, with Rs 4.96 crore from India net collections. Dhyan Sreenivasan scores his first hit of 2025 While the movie opened modestly, it has shown a steady run across weekdays and weekends, steadily building its audience and word-of-mouth. The film's growing collections signal that audiences are enjoying this crime comedy blend, marking a positive turning point for Dhyan's 2025 releases. A lighthearted detective faces a darker challenge 'Detective Ujjwalan' revolves around Ujjwalan, a quirky librarian who moonlights as the village detective, helping solve small-time problems like lost gold or missing goats. Plachikavu village is so peaceful that even the police lean on Ujjwalan's skills to handle petty crime. But the tone shifts when a series of brutal murders shock the quiet village, leaving everyone to wonder whether their local amateur sleuth can rise to the challenge of catching a dangerous criminal. As tension builds, Ujjwalan must stretch beyond his usual comic charm to crack a case that threatens the entire village's safety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Detective Ujjwalan - Official Trailer ETimes verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, 'There are some rules that a detective story needs to make it work and for the effect to stay with us. Some red herrings that will confuse the audience so that we are emotionally and intellectually caught up in the story, a detective who uses logic that will baffle us with its brilliance and a final revelation of the culprit that will shock us. Detective Ujjwalan does not use any of these devices in a forceful enough manner. The period settings are interesting and the village characters are loveable enough, though some of the superb comic talents from social media, Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz and Shahubas, are barely utilised. The film seems to go in the direction of most Dhyan films; a bit of an anti-climax.' What's next? With Rs 57 lakhs collected on its tenth day, 'Detective Ujjwalan' continues to draw crowds despite facing competition from new releases. Given the current momentum, the movie is likely to continue adding to its box office tally in the coming weeks.
