Mithun Chakraborty has had an illustrious career in Bollywood so far and thus, his personal life has also often been brought under the limelight. Back in the 80s, it was said that a married Mithun was so enamoured by Sridevi after working with her that he secretly tied the knot with the actress. The two were allegedly married from 1985 to 1988.
However, Mithun was already married to Yogeeta Bali. Back then, Mithun was asked in an interview if he ever laid eyes upon another woman after he got married. The actor said, “Sab hi aurat ki taraf nazar uthaake dekhta hoon lekin acchi neeyat se.
” When asked if the rumours about him were true, he said some were true and some false. “I’m the most..
. married bachelor,” he said. When asked if the rumours about his ‘secret marriage’ with Sridevi were true, he said, “Voh mujhe nahi pata.
No comment.” Watch the video here: Mithun and Sridevi met on the sets of Jaag Utha Insan. It was alleged that the two stars had a brief affair and even secretly got married in a court ceremony in 1985.
Reports claim that in 1987 when Boney Kapoor grew closer to Sridevi, Mithun’s wife Yogeeta Bali learnt about his alleged indiscretion. Boney Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty’s friendship was also allegedly strained after this. It was said that Sridevi filed for an annulment in 1988 and separated from Mithun.
Reports claimed that a significant reason for this was that Mithun was not ready to leave Yogeeta. However, neither Mithun nor Sridevi.
