Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 7 (ANI): Shantirani Chakraborty, Mithun Chakraborty’s mother, died on Friday, June 6. Mithun’s friend, Vijay Upadhyay, confirmed the news.

Mithun used to live in Mumbai with his mother.

Mithun Chakraborty also lost his father, Basantakumar Chakraborty, to kidney failure three years ago at the age of 95.
