Ah, the glamorous, oh-so-glitzy world of Bollywood! Today, my dear readers, we’re diving into the ever-entertaining saga of one Durgesh Kumar, known for his stellar performance in the web series Panchayat. Buckle up, because Bollywood Newshound Nisha is here to spill the tea with a dash of sass and a pinch of sarcasm!
Durgesh Kumar’s Big Mumbai Moment!
So, our man Durgesh Kumar, who you’ve seen in Highway (no, not the one you’re stuck on every morning, the movie with Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda), has officially joined the Mumbai homeowner club! 🏠🎉 After years of hustling in the city that never sleeps (unless it’s after a long shoot), he’s finally got his own pad.
On July 31, Durgesh took to Instagram to share this milestone with his fans. Flashing the keys to his new digs, he captioned it, "Aapna Ghar….. Mumbai main thanks (sic)." Oh, Durgesh, always keeping it real!
Here’s his Instagram post if you missed it:
Fan Frenzy: The Congratulations Avalanche
Naturally, his fans went wild with joy and congratulatory messages. From "Congrats, sir! Keep shining!" to "Bht bht Mubarak," the love was pouring in like Mumbai monsoon. One cheeky fan commented, "Dekh rha hh Vinod bhaiya ji khud ka ghar le liye Mumbai mein Congratulations." Ah, the sweet taste of success, right Vinod bhaiya ji? 😂
The Role That Wasn’t: Panchayat Audition Tales
Here’s a fun tidbit for you – Durgesh wasn’t initially cast as Bhushan Kumar aka Banrakas in Panchayat. He actually auditioned for a photographer’s role. Let’s just say, destiny had bigger plans (and a better script) for him. 👏 In the end, Deepesh Sumitra Jagdish snagged the photographer gig, and Durgesh became our beloved Banrakas. Talk about a plot twist!
Money Matters: Panchayat Payday
First season’s paycheck? A modest Rs. 10,000, including flights, food, and accommodation. Oh, the sacrifices for art!
Panchayat and Beyond
For those living under a rock, Panchayat stars Jitendra Kumar in the lead, with Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta, Chandan Roy, and Faisal Malik rounding out the cast. The third season is streaming on Amazon Prime Video since May 2024. Pro tip: binge-watch it if you haven’t already!
Durgesh has also graced the big screen in films like Sultan, Freaky Ali, Bahen Hogi Teri, Laapataa Ladies, and Bhakshak. A versatile actor, indeed!
Nisha’s Nutshell
Moral of the Story: In Bollywood, you might audition for one role and end up with something better. Also, owning a home in Mumbai? Now that’s the ultimate blockbuster! 🎬✨
