I want to thank Dr Satej Janorkar and everyone at Deenanath Mangeshkar hospital for not just treating my aajji but the way everyone is working tirelessly in this situation. what I saw at the hospital n then at cremation ceremony she refused to take vaccine n went out of the house just once to meet her beloved friend as she didn't listen to her son who refused her several times for not going out. she is on her journey n ll never come back ever. I know but I can't explain what have I lost. pls stay home as much as possible. wear ur masks n take care of urself and ur beloved people.”

Jitendra is known for his popular Marathi films like Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar, Poshter Girl, Kaakan and Ventilator, among others.
