Jeet is an Indian Bengali actor, producer and television presenter. Jeet started his modeling career in 1993. His first acting assignment was Bishabriksha (1994–95), a Bengali TV series directed by Bishnu Palchaudhuri. He made his big screen debut with Chandu (2001), a Telugu film.[1] His first success came in 2002, opposite Priyanka Trivedi, through Sathi, a highly successful romantic drama, directed by Haranath Chakraborty, for which he won the Bengal Film Journalists' Association – Most Promising Actor Award and Anandalok Awards for Best Actor. In the same year, he acted in the Bengali remake of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. This initial success was followed by other critical and commercial successes, including Nater Guru, Sangee, Bandhan and Yuddho. In 2005, he acted alongside Koel Mallick in Nater Guru, which was released to critical and commercial success and fetched him his second Anandalok Award for Best Actor. He also starred in some commercial failures, including Saathihara, Priyotoma and Ghatak, and in Jor, which was more successful.

2010 proved to be a commercially successful year for Jeet as he starred in Wanted and Dui Prithibi, both of which were critically and commercially successful ventures; the latter being the highest grosser of 2010, according to a study conducted by FICCI and Deloitte. In 2013, he appeared in the crime thriller Boss: Born to Rule, which was Jeet's first pan-India release. The film proved to be one of the biggest hits of 2013, grossing 67.5 million (US$810,000)[2] and also earned him his first Filmfare Awards East nomination.

From 2014 to 2016, he starred in many films, including four critically and commercially successful ventures – the psychological thriller The Royal Bengal Tiger, the comedy thriller Bachchan, the action comedy Badsha The Don and the action drama Abhimaan. In 2018, the action thriller film Bagh Bandi Khela released on 16 November 2018. In 2020 he starred in Asur. In 2022, he starred in the action thriller Raavan and in 2023 he starred in Chengiz, both of which was commercially successful. For Raavan he won the Bengali Film & Television Award for Best Actor. Chengiz became the first Bengali film to be released simultaneously in both Bengali and Hindi languages.[3]

In television, he appeared on several reality shows and also hosted some, including Koti Takar Baaji and Bigg Boss Bangla.[4]
