Dishani

Chakraborty, daughter of Mithun Chakraborty, is gearing up to present her upcoming short film One Last Day - a project she has written, produced, and stars in. The film traces a couple as they spend a final day together before parting ways, tenderly exploring the unspoken emotions of love, closure, and farewell. In an exclusive conversation with Zoom, Dishani spoke about having the legendary actor present on set and reflected on what it truly means to call him her father.“I was incredibly nervous at first,” Dishani revealed when asked about what she felt on having her father on set, before adding, “He’s my idol, and working in front of someone you admire so deeply can be daunting.”

The actress however, confidently added that seeing Chakraborty smile and hearing him say how proud he was instantly put her at ease. “In that moment, I felt completely supported, and it gave me a quiet confidence on set,” she revealed.But was growing up with Mithun Chakraborty easy? Pat came her reply, “It’s my greatest blessing.”The filmmaker and actor went on to add, “I feel incredibly grateful to be his daughter. I’ve learned so much from him. Not just about acting, but about life and resilience. His strength, courage, and determination continue to inspire me every day, and watching the way he carries himself has shaped who I am, both as an artist and as a person.”

Speaking about the emotional core of One Last Day, Dishani also revealed that she has gone through heartbreak herself and writing the film felt therapeutic for her - not in a painful way, but in a gentle manner. "Revisiting heartbreak through storytelling helped me understand that breakups don’t always have to be rooted in anger or loss. Sometimes letting go is actually an act of love, it means you care enough about someone to choose what’s healthiest for both of you, even if it hurts.”According to Dishani, writing for the film shifted her perspective on closure. “It showed me that honouring what you shared and walking away with kindness can be far more healing than holding onto resentment. I’d rather carry the love and the memories than let them turn bitter,” she signed off.
