It so happened that one of the contestants Akash Singh from Bihar broke down after performing on the stage for the first time. He recalled living under a tree in a park when he came to Mumbai as he had no place to stay and spoke about how he practised his stunts on trees and poles on streets.

On hearing this Mithun also walked down the memory lane and shared his own story to motivate Akash. The actor said that initially he had decided to take up villain roles as he thought that no one would cast him as a hero. The Golmaal 3 actor also recalled dancing at big parties for food.

"I thought no one would cast me as a hero, hence I decided to become a villain and that too, a dancing villain. I used to walk to work so that I could save money. I used to dance at big parties because I would get food to eat," Mithun said on the show.

Talking about Hunarbaaz, the show hosted Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa will feature rappers, stand-up comics, acrobats, magicians and others coming on the show to display their talents. Besides Mithun, the show will be co-judged by Karan Johar and Parineeti Chopra.
