No Longer Active Acting, Jupiter Fortismo Is Busy Rintis Bisnis To Meet Living Needs

JAKARTA - Former soap opera actor Jupiter Fortismimo has again stolen the public's attention, not because of his role on the small screen, but because of his struggle to build a new life after leaving detention.

"If the instincts for selling are actually from my days, I've been shooting it but it's not up to full-hearted," said Jupiter Fortismimo, quoted by VOI from Instagram @rumpi_ttv, Friday, May 9.

Now, with demanding economic conditions, Jupiter dares to take big steps to make a living. He started everything from below, even from minus.

"Now this time because of economic demands, gradually in (prison), must start from scratch again even from minus yes. So yes, that's all, as long as it's halal," he said.

The start of his business actually came unintentionally. Jupiter often uploads food that he enjoys on social media until it finally attracts the attention of many people.

"Initially, I ate a post, then people asked, 'how come it's good, Sis? Where did you buy it?', so finally I slowly got my own TikTok account to sell there," he said.

Combining two things he loves, Jupiter developed a business concept he had previously tried while living in Kemang.

"Yes, it turns out that it was because I really like eating and like fashion, so sometimes, in the past in Kemang it was Fushion, food and fashion, now fashion and food," said Jupiter.

But this time he chose a more practical business model and could reach the wider market.

"But what we sell is that the food is easy, it can be sent. So we don't eat on the spot," he concluded.
