Jitendra Kumar Reacts To Rumours Of Fallout With Panchayat Makers

Panchayat season 3: Jitendra Kumar has reprised his role as Abhishek Tripathi, aka ‘Sachiv Ji', in season 3 of the Prime Video India original series 'Panchayat'. After the release of the latest season, in an interview with India Today, the actor talked about the past rumours of his fallout with the makers of the series, The Viral Fever (TVF). There were speculations that Jitendra might not return to the show.

Jitendra said, “There was a lot of panic and I could see that all over social media. The last season ended on Abhishek's transfer and that also spurred the buzz further. There was a misunderstanding, and honestly, main bhi pareshan ho jata tha (I would get troubled) answering the same questions. At one point, I was like aur mat poochon, bandh karo yeh (don't ask about it, end it now).”

“Given I have had a long association with TVF, people were worried about what went wrong. I understood it's their love and we just waited for the first trailer to end all speculations,” he added.
