Mithun invented his unique dance moves to divert people's attention from his complexion. Zeenat Aman was the first actress who praised her and described her looks as wonderful. While talking to 'Radio Nasha', he had said, 'People's expectations increased after seeing me and they felt that despite living in a chawl or village, my son can also become an actor. I had now become the hero of the common man. Becoming a superstar from a common man was a big thing for me.
Felt- If I dance then no one will be able to see my color.
He had said, 'I thought that if I dance with my feet, no one will be able to see my color and that is what happened. My dance made people forget my colour. No one had imagined a hero with looks like mine. I felt very bad and used to cry.
'People were not able to accept me as a hero'
The actor had said, 'Zeenat Aman was the first A-grade artiste with whom he worked. Nobody wanted to work with me because people were not able to accept me as a hero. He felt that working with me would not give him popularity and that is why no one wanted to work with me. But then Zeenat Aman ji arrived.

'I thought I wouldn't be able to move from B-grade films to A-grade films.'
Mithun once said in a singing reality show in the year 2023, 'There was a time when I thought that I would not be able to move from B-grade films to A-grade films. There were many times when actresses left the film even after the announcement of the film. There was pressure and other actors were insecure that I would make it big someday. That's why he must have warned those actresses that if they worked with him, they would not be able to work with us. He said, 'It was Zeenat ji who broke this tag. Zeenat ji had the status of number one heroine of that time, so following her footsteps, every other actress started saying yes to my films. With the release of Takdeer I became an A-class actor. I will always be grateful to Zeenat ji for giving me this post.
'What did people say about me?'
He had said, 'How many battles can a person fight, they thought I was a small star. They say- Will he ever be able to become a hero? Who will make him a hero? What did people say about me? I don't even want to say all that now, it hurts.
