Kolkata, Feb. 13 -- Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty was discharged from hospital on Monday afternoon.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader asserted to the reporters that he was "absolutely fine" and would soon resume shooting for upcoming films.

Chakraborty suffered a brain stroke on Saturday morning after which he was admitted at a private hospital in Kolkata.

"I want to tell all people, especially those who have diabetics, please keep control of your food habits," he said.

Bengal BJP leaders Sukanta Majumdar, Dilip Ghosh, and Suvendu Adhikari visited him at the hospital.

His last film Kabuliwala, which is based on Rabindranath Tagore's short story, was released on Christmas last year.
