Kolkata/IBNS: Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty suffered a brain stroke on Saturday morning, a private hospital in Kolkata where he is admitted said.

However, Chakraborty is "conscious" and "well-oriented".

The Apollo Hospital issued a statement which reads, "Shri Mithun Chakraborty (73), National Award-winning actor, was brought to the Emergency Department of Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata, around 9.40 am with complaints of weakness in the right upper and lower limbs. Necessary laboratory and radiology investigations were carried out including an MRI of the brain.

"He has been diagnosed with an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) of the brain. Presently, he is fully conscious, well-oriented and has consumed soft diet. Shri Chakraborty is being further evaluated by a team of doctors including a neuro-physician, cardiologist and a gastroenterologist."

Chakraborty, a National Award winning actor, was busy shooting for Bengali film Shastri alongside senior actress Debasree Roy. The two are working together for a film after 14 years.

His last film Kabuliwala, which is based on Rabindranath Tagore's short story, was released on Christmas last year.

The 73-year-old actor was recently honoured with Padma Bhushan, which is the third-highest civilian award by the Government of India.

Chakraborty is still a member of the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the political outfit which he joined in 2021 in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
