Joaquim João "Jaju" Fernandes (29 September 1960 – 11 April 2023), also mononymously known as Jaju or Dada (transl. Father), was an Indian actor and singer known for his work in Konkani films and tiatr (theatre) productions. He made his professional debut in the 1980 tiatr Thapott (Slap) by his elder brother, Roseferns. Following this, he became known for playing both serious and comedic main characters, traditionally those of a father, antagonist, or police officer. In his later years, he took on the role of a football agent during his son Brandon Fernandes's early football career.
