Early life
He was born to Late Mr. Y. Srinivasa Murthy and Mrs Y. Lakshmi Kumari. His father wanted him to have a proper education and a good job and thus he completed his Diploma in civil Engineering. However, since the first time his father brought home a television he has been attracted towards the creative work in daily soaps and films and so even after being well educated he couldn't pursue a job and come into the film industry at an early age. His aim in life is to be an excellent creative director.
As a child Jithender's inspiration for his foray into films was his father. His father was a stage artist and had a drama company called Karmika Kala Bharathi. They would perform stage plays and there Jithender would pull the curtains initially.Then he became a prompter. Later on he became a stage artist himself and started to do good roles in the stage plays. As a stage actor he acquired a good following so much so that he was looked upon like a celebrity in his own village. Then on he went on to clear the All India Radio auditions as a vocalist and an actor and then became a part of Akash Vaani. From there, he went on to perform a mono play called Kanyadaatha in Doordarshan and thus he also became a part of Doordarshan. So, early in his life he took inspiration from his father and came into this field of Indian Cinema.
