In Bollywood, there’s room for anyone with talent. Today, let’s talk about an actor who dreamt of being Jitendra Kumar like Amitabh Bachchan and Nana Patekar when he was a kid. His name is Jitendra Kumar. He studied at IIT and now he’s known as the superstar of online shows.
When Jitendra was studying Civil Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, he started to enjoy acting. He did lots of plays at IIT and met Biswapati Sarkar, who worked at The Viral Fever. Biswapati invited him to join TVF in 2012. Nowadays, Jitendra Kumar is famous online as Jeetu Bhaiya.
Jitendra Kumar got noticed in ‘Munna Jazbaati: The Q-tiya Intern’ in 2013. It got more than 3 million views. He became even more famous with shows like ‘Tech Conversations With Dad’, ‘A Day With’, ‘TVF Bachelors, and ‘Kota Factory’.
Then he did ‘Kota Factory’, which became very popular. He played a teacher in an IIT coaching center. Recently, he was in ‘Panchayat’ on Amazon Prime, where he played Abhishek Tripathi, a secretary in a small town. People loved it, and Jitendra Kumar became a big name in online shows.
After doing well online, Jitendra Kumar tried Bollywood. In 2020, he was in ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’ with Ayushmann Khurrana. He even won a Filmfare OTT Award for ‘Panchayat’ in 2020.
But it wasn’t easy for Jitendra Kumar in Mumbai. He didn’t know anyone there. He used to teach physics and chemistry on weekends and act on weekdays. That’s how he made his name, and now, everyone knows him.
