Actor Jitendra Kumar, who became a sensation after starring in several TVF series, will soon grace the small screen with Amazon Prime Video’s Panchayat Season 2.

The streaming giant on Tuesday released a video of the actor answering questions about his experience of shooting in the village, eating bottle gourd (lauki) and his character Abhishek finding love in the show.

When asked about the recurring motif of lauki in part one of the show, Jitendra Kumar laughed and said, “Lauki is jawani ka pyaar. We used to hate it as kids, but as you grow up, you realise its value. And a homegrown one actually tastes like butter.”
