Tahir Raj Bhasin Reacts To Chhichhore Winning National Award, Says It Will Also Be A 'Day Of Remembrance And Gratitude For Sushant'

It will be a special day for the team of Chhichhore. Today, the film won the prestigious National Film Award in the Best Hindi Feature Film category. The film was a favourite amongst the audiences, who made sure that it performs well at the box-office. Now, after the win, actor Tahir Raj Bhasin has expressed his feelings.

Tahir played the character of the mysterious Derek, who motivated Sushant Singh Rajput's character Aniruddh, and the others, to give it their all in the competition. The actor said, "I feel incredibly grateful to have played the part of Derek and been a part of Chhichhore. It will always be a special film to me. Nitesh Tiwari and Sajid Nadiadwala captained this ship, and it was an ace team to have been on. The film was about never allowing society to decide if you are a winner or a loser but fighting the very notions of these labels and finding your own happiness. I feel so rewarded that we’ve been recognised by the country’s highest award for the film. This definitely makes all the work that went into creating it, worth it, and the film even more special to all of us."

He also remembered Sushant, who passed away last year, and added, "As we celebrate our big win, today will also be a day of remembrance and gratitude for Sushant without whom this story would never have been told."

Chhichhore was directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starred Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Navin Polishshetty, Tusshar Pandey and others in important roles.
