Veteran actor and BJP central committee member Mithun Chakraborty is admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata after a minor surgery on Thursday night. Times of India reports that West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari visited him and said the operation was small and the actor is recovering well. Chakraborty had wanted to keep the matter quiet, informing only state party leaders.

Adhikari posted on Facebook that he met the actor and prayed for his speedy recovery. He told reporters the actor will be discharged soon. Calling Chakraborty an invaluable figure in the state, Adhikari said his contribution goes beyond politics.
The news of Mithun Chakraborty's hospitalisation risks being seized on as a political sympathy card, with the BJP leader's condition already framed as a toll of public service. But the facts are straightforward: a minor surgery, a stable recovery, and the actor's own wish for privacy. Let's wait for his discharge and a statement from his family before reading anything more into it.
