Mithun - Maddy or Neil of the 80s ?

Few of those favorites from my long list of disco favorites from the 70s and 80s. I still vividly remember how my aunts, uncles and big cousins, the then college goers used to go gaga over Mithun those days. As Maddy or Neil Nikhil Mukhesh is to us , so was Mithun to them! Even today my grand ma who is 80+ loved/loves Mithun and says her 3rd son , my c.appa resembled Mithun whenever he sported a brown goggles. He is the one who introduced us to tulips with his pictures from Netherlands in 1980s. Paati always used to say, for an eligible bachelor in late 70s and early 80s, he had to look like Mithun, the height, the color,the charm -"Payyan Mithun madiri veluppa,sevappa,osarama irukkana ?" used to be a regular question from the bride's side. Even though a Kamal Haasan existed, they always looked up to Mithun. Now, i know why.
