Early life and education

[edit]

Kumar pursued engineering upon arriving in Delhi in 2001. However, after facing challenges with entrance exam, he redirected his focus towards theatre. He participated in approximately 35 plays during this time.[citation needed] He concurrently pursued his bachelor of Art Honours degree from Ignou between 2004 and 2007, alongside completing a certificate course in acting at the Shri Ram Centre Performing Arts from 2004 to 2006.[2][3][4]

Kumar was accepted into the National School of Drama( NSD),[5] where he attained a postgraduate diploma in acting.[6][7]

His breakthrough came with the role of Aadoo in the film "Highway," followed by his portrayal of Bhushan in the acclaimed web series "Panchayat." Durgesh expressed surprise at the character's success, crediting the show's creators for crafting the role of Banrakas.[8]

Durgesh Kumar disclosed to a member of the media that his family played a pivotal role as his greatest support during his days of struggle. It was his elder brother who suggested Durgesh pursue theatre after he faced setbacks in the engineering entrance test.[9][10]

Durgesh Kumar regards actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui as his primary source of inspiration in the acting industry[11]
