"My mom is a complete home bird. She just loves us, and she really loves being at home. There are times when we all have to request her to get her out for lunch. And of course, mom decided that she wanted to be a mother and a family woman. She gave up all the limelight when she got married. She's pretty chill about it. But I believe somewhere in my heart that I really want to share screen space with her someday."

Further, in the same interview, Mahaakshay talked about his father, Mithun Chakraborty. The actor revealed that his father always supported him in his difficult phase of life. Elaborating on how Mithun keeps him grounded and humble, Mahaakshay mentioned that his father often tells him that being his son doesn't give him a ticket to do anything. He also stated that Mithu advised him to prove his worth to audiences on his own abilities and not on his father's name. In his words:
"He has always been supportive. He has made it very clear to me that coming in this industry has been my choice. My father has always been a very important guide in my life and through his actions, I learn every day. He has told me, you know, I will never help you just because you're my son. Being my son doesn't give you a free ticket to do anything. You have to make yourself worth it. You have to be worth the audience's love, time and money. You do bad, they're not going to like you. You do good, they're going to like you. It's as simple as that."
In the same conversation, Mahaaksahy also talked about the rough phase of his life and stated that nepotism doesn't give work. Talking about the same, the actor mentioned that he is a living example of how people do not get work in the film industry just because they belong to a star family. Mahaakshay also revealed that he has faced rejections in life but that didn't stop him from going for auditions. Mentioning how destiny has a big role in every actor's life, Mahaakshay said that he is proud of what he has achieved on his own.
