Nitin Desai’s departure was even more poignant as it occurred merely three days before his 58th birthday, which would have been celebrated on Sunday, August 6. Many top Bollywood personalities were left mourning his sudden demise, paying tribute to the remarkable talent that graced their cinematic endeavors.

Born in Dapoli, Ratnagiri, Nitin Desai’s artistic journey began at the prestigious JJ School of Arts, where he honed his skills in cinematography. From humble beginnings, living in a 10×10 room with seven family members, he transcended the boundaries of his modest upbringing to create awe-inspiring sets for emperors and queens, turning celluloid into a canvas for his dreams.
