These are the reasons that make the character of Jeetu Bhaiya famous and it feels very nice that the audience remembers the character always." Talking about his other popular character Sachivji in Panchayat, which was loved by the audience in the three seasons, he shared, "In the same way the audience is going to love it in the fourth season as it has been written in such a way. It is going to be interesting. Hopefully, the new season will be out very soon."

Recalling the journey, he added, "I was lucky in a way that YouTube was new and somehow I was connected to TVF. I had my friends there so I knew some people from the field and got a platform for showing the content. Initially, I saw if people are liking my work or not because otherwise, I would have explored something else. I realised in college only that I am not going to be a good engineer as have not studied properly so I thought to explore different options."

"Initially I was scared to do music videos, but my both music videos are story-oriented and I like the characters. When I heard the song ( 'Keh dona'), I thought it was a sad track and very emotional, however, my character is fun-loving and humorous and this is the reason I got interested in doing it. This character is more close to me." Manpreet added on how it was to work with Jitendra, "I enjoyed working with him. He is a very good actor. Initially, I thought it would be difficult to work with him as you all have seen the kind of roles he has played on screen but it was a very comfortable shoot and the experience was very nice."
