Panchayat 3's Durgesh Kumar recalls working in soft porn series
The actor known for his straightforward and raw nature in the Panchayat series was previously seen as Bhatuknath in two seasons of Ektaa Kapoor-backed series Virgin Bhasskar. The actor admitted to being helpless to take up that role. Even after working in Imtiaz Ali’s Highway and a few other ventures, there was a time when the actor was struggling to get work. Thus, in dire need of money, he agreed to do the role in Virgin Bhasskar.
He said, "I wouldn’t say I was forced to do soft porn, it was just that I was optionless and in desperate need of money so I had to take up that job. This was after I played a role in Highway. I didn’t have enough roles or work coming my way after that. Hence, I acted in two seasons of this show called Virgin Bhaskar. But, I can assure you I haven’t done anything shady in the show. I am an actor, and I knew my capabilities. I just worked with honesty.”
The actor stated that he was helpless (meri majboori thi) and he was in need of money.
