Ahead of the Assembly elections in West Bengal, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat met Bollywood veteran Mithun Chakraborty in Mumbai on Tuesday.

The meeting at the Mithun's Madh bungalow lasted for over two hours where his entire family was present.

The Bollywood star, who has a significant following in the poll-bound West Bengal, had earlier met the RSS chief nearly three years ago.

In his brief comments, Mithun said, "I have a spiritual connection with Mohan Bhagwat. I had met him in Lucknow and later I had requested him to come to my home when he is in Mumbai."

“He came to my house... do not speculate anything," he added.

The 70-year-old actor is a former Rajya Sabha member and was long associated with the ruling Trinamool Congress in Bengal before he resigned from the party in 2016 over health issues.
