Regarding the rumors that Jitendra Kumar is the most paid actor on Panchayat 3: It is unjust to talk about someone’s pay.

Since its premiere, Panchayat 3 has generated a lot of enthusiasm. Rumor has it that Jitendra Kumar earned ₹70,000 every episode, the highest salary of any of the cast members this time around. In response to the craze, the actor has now stated that it is incredibly unfair to talk about someone’s pay.

According to a recent source, Jitendra received ₹5.6 lakh for participating in the third season of Panchayat. He was listed as the highest paid performer, with actor Neena Gupta coming in second with ₹50,000 an episode.

Jitendra responds
Furthermore, the reports do not amuse the actor, who plays Abhishek Tripathi in the popular series. Slamming the tendency of talking about one’s compensation, he did not address the rumors.

Well, Jitendra continues, “I think it’s really unfair to discuss somebody’s salary and financial matters.”

“Nothing good comes out of the discussion, and it’s not even fruitful,” the actor claims. Therefore, I believe that one should not believe any such rumors and should not be believed.

Regarding Panchayat prosperity
The Amazon Prime Video series, directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and written by Chandan Kumar, was conceived by The Viral Fever and has been a great hit from the beginning. Now, the third justification, which was made public in May, also received favorable feedback.

Renowned for his roles in TVF Pitchers, Kota Factory, and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Jitendra attributes his professional success to the show. Nevertheless, he has made a determined effort to keep his personal life unaffected by success.

“The show has altered a lot of things for me as an actor. Regarding my personal life, however, not much has changed. I’ve only been curious to make small adjustments in my life.

Jitendra goes on to elaborate, saying, “As an actor, it comes with more opportunities to better films, work on better scripts, and work with interesting filmmakers when your show becomes such a massive hit, and gets love from all quarters.”

As Jitendra, affectionately known as Jitu bhaiya, states, “It becomes my responsibility to try to do the work in a more creative and interesting way to meet the expectations of my fans,” there is also a responsibility associated with it.

And that’s what I’m trying to do. That in order to keep the role, I have to put in more effort and push myself more in my upcoming productions,” the actor claims.

In terms of the show, it centers on the lives of his character Abhishek, an engineering graduate who, in the absence of better employment opportunities, works as a secretary in a panchayat office in the isolated Uttar Pradesh village of Phulera. It highlights the problems and way of life of the community while focusing on his quest of attempting to fit in.

“I found the third season screenplay to be quite intriguing when I read it. Furthermore, it didn’t seem like the creators were making a lot of effort to try something new. In the same area, they are narrating fresh tales and captivating scenarios. I was quite thrilled about it. I went back to the role with greater vigor and no pressure. In the end, what works is the good script, and we rely on that,” he shares.

On May 28, the third season, which also starred Durgesh, Raghubir Yadav, and Faisal Malik, debuted.

Laid stars Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet reveal the worst gifts their romantic partners gave them | Exclusive

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s character Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.

Stephanie, too, found herself unsure of what to make of a gift once, she reveals. “I had my heart broken many years ago, and then I didn’t talk to this person for five years. Then, they came out of the woodwork a few years ago and sent me a bag of gifts. One of them was a hat their mom had made. I am not wearing your mom’s hat,” says the actor.

Laid also stars Michael Angarano and Tommy Martinez. The series premieres on December 19 on Peacock and will be available in India on JioCinema.
