Sushant Singh Rajput First Death Anniversary: Chhichhore Director Nitesh Tiwari Recalls Fond Memories With SSR: ‘He Was Full Of Energy And Dedication’
Tomorrow marks one year since Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Sushant’s sudden and untimely death on June 14, 2020, had sent shockwaves across the nation, and many demanded justice for the late actor. Ahead of his death anniversary, Sushant’s fans and friends have been sharing his pictures, video clips, and lovely memories that they have of him. Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, who worked with Sushant in Chhichhore, recalled his child-like curiosity, enthusiasm and dedication towards his work.

While speaking with ETimes, Sushant said that before the narration of Chhichhore, he had only met Sushant socially. However, it was during the narrations, when he asked many relevant questions, that Sushant came across as a thinker who wanted to understand the journey of the character, said Nitesh Tiwari. “Because he is not just interested in his role but is in the overall story per se, which is a quality of Sushant that stood out for me. You know the charm that he carried, the child-like curiosity, which he had and of course there is no question about the enthusiasm which he showed about everything, to me those things stayed with me,” said the filmmaker.

Nitesh Tiwari shared another interesting thing, and said that Sushant would never use glycerin for emotional scenes. When he would ask how he manages to bring tears, Sushant would reply, “Ye mera secret hai sir.”


Nitesh Tiwari further added that he had been in touch with Sushant even after the film. He adds that Sushant had promised to show Nitesh’s son the moon on his telescope. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Remembering Sushant, Nitesh Tiwari said, “He was a fantastic artiste, full of energy and dedication and that is going to remain with me for the rest of my life.”
