We are talking about Jitendra Kumar, who studied at IIT and is now called the superstar of OTT. While studying Civil Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, Jitendra Kumar started liking acting and pursued it as a career. Jitendra Kumar has done many stage plays as the Governor of the Hindi Technology Dramatics Society at the IIT where he met Biswapati Sarkar, Executive Creative Director and Writer at The Viral Fever who invited him to join TVF in 2012. Today, Jitendra Kumar is famous in the digital world as Jeetu Bhaiya.
