I looked at her like lifelong love: Jeetendra
In an interview given to YouTuber Raj Shamani, Jeetendra said, 'I had fallen in love with a girl for a very strange reason. One day when she came late to class, the teacher scolded her severely. He got insulted too much. I was a topper at that time, so I thought that maybe if I had been in his place, I would not have been scolded so much.
After a day or two, that girl became my crush and I fell in love. That crush lasted for a long time and I looked at him with different eyes that he was my lifelong love.
Jeetendra became a household name by playing the role of Jeetu Bhaiya in the web series 'Kota Factory' released in 2019.
Actor said- 'This is how love happens in small towns'
