Recalling her relationship with Mithun, Mamata Shankar says, “Basically, I was in a relationship with Bappida (Chandroday) first. Ever since he met Bappida, many marriage proposals started pouring in. But no one could ever sway me from Bappida. But while doing the movie ‘Mrigaya‘ I got involved with Mithun. I didn’t quite understand how it happened. I held myself tight. I was committed to Bappida. Even then, I could not understand how it happened.”
Why was the marriage with Mithun Chakraborty broken? In response to this question, Mamata Shankar said, “Mithun was going through a period of struggle then. The career has only just begun. Just started getting movie work. At that time, after the wedding date was finalised, Mithun said, ‘Let’s postpone the wedding for two more years. After the breakup of my marriage, I suffered a lot, went through a terrible trauma.”

Did it hurt your ego to say no to Mithun Chakraborty? In response, Mamata Shankar said, ‘Not exactly. Both our families wanted the wedding to take place. But I could also understand Mithun’s point. Because his career was just starting. He was getting job offers in movies. Because of which he objected.’
Then why the wedding date was finalized? In response, Mamata Shankar said, ‘When we discussed and decided to get married, Mithun was not in this situation. We thought the marriage could be done at this time. But the situation changed before marriage. Mithun’s career would have been hampered. After this incident, my family wanted no gossip. Now that gossip is made up to be practiced, that was not the case then. In fact, I would say, what happened is good. I have not come to know Bappida better.’

Rumors of Mithun’s relationship with some actresses while working in Bollywood are heard. And because of this or you get out of the relationship? In response, Mamata Shankar said, ‘I have heard that too. Mithun told me. Mithun did these for his career. But Mithun had no such relationship with anyone in Bollywood.’
After breaking up with Mithun, Mamata got married to Chandradoya. And Mithun also married Helena. After that, communication was lost for a long time. But now Mithun-Mamata have a very good relationship. Not only that, the two family members also have a very close relationship.
