A business graduate from North South University, he is currently doing his MBA from the same institution. 'Theatre was a passion to me. I was a child artiste and had worked in various television productions. After a certain point it gradually became a profession.' He says, 'I was president of the North South University Cine and Drama Club (NSUCDC) back in my under-grad days. This led to my involvement with the theatre, where I worked in Danda, Rokto Korobee and Tasher Desh with Ataur Rahman.'

He was never a model, nor one of those frequent 'commercial-ad' faces on television that one would see flipping through channels every now and then. How did he get his break in the media? 'My arrival into the media was a complete coincidence,' he says smilingly. 'It was in May 2000 when Abdullah Al Mamun asked my father, Ali Ahsan Sydney, to send me to his Nimco office. He said that he hadn't seen me for months and would like to catch up on things. So one fine day I went to his office and we just spoke casually over tea. Around September the same year, I got a phone call from Abdulla Al Mamun, asking me to work for him in Joar Bhata.'

Jeetu's work in this daily soap was praised by all, which had also opened up many more paths for him to prove his talent. 'Joar Bhata was a daily soap, a first ever made in the television history of Bangladesh. I was definitely delighted to work there,' glows this young actor. Jeetu's work was also appreciated on Channel I's popular mega serial Griho Galpo. 'I am currently working in many drama serials and tele-films which are being telecast on ATN Bangla, ntv, Channel I and also BTV,' Jeetu remarks.

Although a world of glamour there are also its odds, he thinks the payment is not always up to their expectations and it also depends on the relationship between the artiste and the director.

'I love spending time with my friends. There was a time when my favourite hang out spot would be the NSU campus, where all my friends would come and we would just chat for hours. Now, I just get my friends to come over to my place or we simply move to different places in groups. That is how I spend my time when I am not shooting.'

Jeetu Ahsan is probably not a mere face on the screen, it is a face which reflects strength and determination. How long shall we see him on the media? 'Right now, I also have my studies to take care of. If everything goes okay after I complete my post graduation, I might just decide on staying in the media. Getting into another personality and being somebody else all together has become my deepest passion,' smiles the young sensation.
