rumors about Mithun Chakraborty and SrideviThe pair’s relationship lasted for decades, with speculation ranging from a secret marriage to eventual separation. While neither Mithun nor Sridevi has publicly confirmed their marriage, veteran entertainment journalist Jyoti Venkatesh has now revisited the claims, claiming that the two briefly lived together as a couple.Venkatesh claimed in an interview with Hindi Rush that the actors briefly lived a family life.“If you ask them if they were close, they actually lived together as a married couple for about three months,” he said.
“Everyone knows they’re together”
Recalling an outdoor shoot, Venkatesh said he witnessed this phase firsthand.“I went for an outdoor shoot in Mithun. Sridevi had never come to the sets before. She would stay in the room, but everyone knew they were together,” he recalls.The veteran journalist also shared a light-hearted exchange he had with Mithun at the time.“Mithun is a good friend of mine. I even joked with him. I said, ‘Mr. Mithun, you must have learned Tamil now.'” He immediately got the hint and said, “Please don’t talk to me in Tamil.” Just ask me what’s up. Of course, it refers to Sridevi. “
Why the relationship allegedly didn’t last
When asked why the relationship ended, Venkatesh pointed to compatibility issues and the circumstances surrounding the two stars at the time.“There were compatibility issues. Also, at that time, Sridevi was Sridevi. Mithun was a successful actor, but Sridevi had become a phenomenon.”He further added, “Mithun had been in different relationships before this, so it was felt at the time that he couldn’t really be trusted in a relationship.”However, Venkatesh points out that Mithun’s marriage to Yogeeta Bali ultimately stood the test of time.“Even though he married Yogita Bali after divorcing his first wife Helena Luke, many didn’t believe the marriage would last. But they have been married for many years now. They have three sons and an adopted daughter. “
Rumors that have been circulating for a long time
Although neither Mithun nor Sridevi confirmed their marriage, rumors about their relationship first surfaced in the late 1980s. According to long-circulating reports, the two met on the sets of Jaag Utha Insaan in the early 1980s and their on-screen chemistry reportedly eventually blossomed into a real-life romance.Several reports over the years claimed that the actors secretly married in 1985 and remained together until 1988. However, at that time Mithun was already married to Yogita Bali, whom he married after divorcing his first wife, Helena Luke. The alleged relationship also allegedly caused a major crisis in Mithun and Yugita’s marriage.Reports further claimed that Sridevi eventually ended the relationship after realizing that Mithun would not leave his wife. She later married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996, and the couple gave birth to daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, both of whom are now actors.Neither Mithun Chakraborty nor Sridevi have publicly confirmed the reports, and the alleged marriage has been the subject of speculation for decades.
