His dad was least interested in watching television and that’s the reason JD too did not watch any television as a child. “During my childhood I hardly watched television as we didn’t have one. I use to go to my neighbour’s house if I wanted to catch anything on the small screen,” he says. Ironically it is television that has made him a household name. Not only is JD a recognized face on TV he also is a well-known TV producer. And his parents until recently had not seen their son on TV. Because they still do not possess a TV set.
