Talking about the issues he faced as a teenager, Jitendra said, "My father not used to stay with us, so people used to ask me questions about it and I used to get very tired and frightened about those questions as I didn't have an answer to them. I used to avoid functions and sometimes I avoided people too. But slowly I overcame the fright and the complexity."
He added further on the challenges faced by him as a child and said, "I still feel that it is very difficult for a child to answer each and every question in their childhood because the child is so small that he or she doesn't understand each and every aspect of life at that particular time and their world is different. So, if there are questions about their world, which is already damaged - the child is also damaged, so I think it's a difficult part of my life and I've dealt with that and now I'm okay with it. I've made peace with it."
