Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty of spoke of his relationship with actress Padmini Kolhapure and how, in one instance, he faked a stomach ache on the set of one of their movie so that Padmini could flee and marry producer Pradeep Sharma in 1986.

Mithun said, “Little does anyone know but I got Padmini married on the day of our shoot. In fact, I faked a stomach ache in front of everyone so that she could run away, get married and come back. I helped her run away that day, and till the time she didn’t come back, I continued acting as if I had a bad stomach ache. This is something no one has got to know till date.”

After 33 years apart, Mithun Chakraborty and Padmini Kolhapure reunited on the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs singing reality show set and shared some memories. Padmini highlighted that they frequently fight and have a relationship similar to Tom and Jerry but despite all these, their friendship is very strong.

Padmini said, “It is true, but I must add that Mithun Da and I always used to fight a lot on the set as Tom and Jerry. He had a problem with everything I did and constantly teased me. However, whenever we used to dance together, it was like you guys(contestants), as if both of us love each other from the bottom of our hearts. And as soon as the performance was over, we used to switch off and part ways.”

To this Mithun replied, “Whatever she is saying, it’s the complete opposite of what used to happen. She had a habit of rubbing one of her eyes, which we Bengalis considered bad luck. But just to annoy me, she used to do it in front of me. She always wanted to do things her own way on the sets, and that’s why we used to fight.”
