But the success of Panchayat didn’t come in a single day for Kumar as he recounted his days of wrestle. Acting was by no means Kumar’s first alternative and he was requested by his household to pursue engineering to guide a steady life. So after ending faculty, he got here to Delhi to get entry to an engineering faculty in 2001 however couldn’t.
“It was during that time my elder brother suggested that I do theatre for my personality development.

I was never directly offered the role. I also faced multiple rejections which was quite frustrating. But then the struggle never ends for an actor,” mentioned the 38-year-old actor.
“When you regularly get roles, it is easy to survive for an actor in a big city like Mumbai. But it becomes very difficult if it stops coming. My family supported me a lot during the difficult time. Besides, I had to do some odd jobs also,” mentioned the actor.
After a cameo within the first season of Panchayat, Kumar had no concept that the second season of the present was within the making. “I only had a one day shoot for season 1. But the casting director called me while it was conceptualised and told me that the length of my character has been increased. This time I shot for 20 days. The location was Mahodiya village in Madhya Pradesh”.
Applauding the makers of Panchayat and the TVF crew, Kumar mentioned, “I am very thankful to the casting director of Panchayat Anmol Ahuja for having faith in me. Also, I would like to thank the whole TVF team which is too professional. It’s a team of sharp minds. They know Indian roots very well and the best thing about them is that they don’t get trapped in star culture. They always do the right casting”.
