'It (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani) is right up there with My Name Is Khan and, of course, my first directorial Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which remains special as it brought a smile to my father's (Yash Johar) face.

Mimoh Chakraborty opens up about dealing with Jimmy's failure, recalls how parents Mithun Chakraborty and Yogeeta Bali reacted: ‘I was very angry, didn't step out of the house for a year'
Actor Mimoh Chakraborty recently sat down for a heartwarming chat on SCREEN's Dear Me. During the conversation, he opened up about the poor reception of his debut film Jimmy, recalling how the criticism initially made him angry. Mimoh also shared how his father, Mithun Chakraborty, and mother, Yogeeta Bali, reacted to the negativity he faced. The actor revealed that the setback with Jimmy ultimately changed his perspective and approach. Talking about the failure of Jimmy, Mimoh said, 'Once you come crashing down and hit rock bottom, the only way is up. I am very thankful for all those failures in my life. After Jimmy, I had to understand the actual way of coming up again. If you get everything so easily, you won't value it. Of course, it's a setback, but those shouldn't make you disappear. Jimmy taught me never to take anything personally or for granted.' Also Read: Mimoh Chakraborty recalls playing games with Shah Rukh Khan during Kuch Kuch Hota Hai shoot, talks about bond with Salman Khan: 'I am very fortunate…' Mimoh Chakraborty spoke about the criticism that came his way after Jimmy. He said, 'It was a lot of anger. I did not expect it to be that bad. I was practically telling myself that the majority might like me or find me okay, but it turned out to be something that was completely unplanned for. The backlash I got, I just wondered why it was happening, because in my head, the film wasn't that bad. Today, when I look back at it, none of it affects me. If you now make me read an article of someone criticizing Jimmy, I will read it as if nothing happened.' 'Back then, all of that wasn't cool for me. It was all in the paper and the news everywhere. I was very angry. But I think you have to deal with everyone with kindness; hate is very free to roam around, it spreads like wildfire,' Mimoh added. A post shared by Mahaakshay Chakraborty (@mimohchakraborty) Talking about how his family supported him, Mimoh Chakraborty shared, 'My parents gave me immense support during that time. Forget about being an actor, I am their child first. Whatever I am today is because of my parents. My siblings were my best friends, and they kept a very good, positive, and protective environment at home. Not once did I feel that they were feeling bad for me or were upset with me. They supported me even more. I didn't step out of the house for a year, and they gave me my space. After Jimmy, I just moved away from the limelight; I didn't want to be seen. I wanted to change the way I looked at myself. Back then, it was all self-criticism; I was blaming myself. Mom, dad, and my siblings gave me the time to heal. I was just 25 and I took my time. Everybody goes through this, but we don't talk about it.' Don't Miss: When Mimoh revealed father Mithun Chakraborty didn't help with his film debut: 'He didn't make me feel like a star kid' Mimoh also recalled that after Jimmy's failure, when he landed a role in Vikram Bhatt's Haunted 3D, many people advised the director to reconsider his decision. 'After that 1 year, I made a portfolio and went to every director and producer, they were all very nice. I was thinking that not everybody would give me work, but I bagged Haunted. That time Vikram Bhatt was told not to sign me and he was making a mistake. A perception was formed in the industry. If I am not a sellable actor, why would anyone want to work with me? Back then, I didn't understand that.' Mimoh Chakraborty further shared how many times he was replaced from projects after reaching the set; however, remembering his father's struggles kept him going. On the work front, Mimoh was last seen in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. He will next be seen in Haunted 2, which is slated to release in September this year.
