Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
shared
screen
space
with
late
Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
in
Nitesh
Tiwari's
2019
campus
drama
Chhichhore.
The
film
was
a
huge
success
at
the
box
office
and
even
bagged
a
National
Award
this
year.
On
Sushant's
first
death
anniversary
today
(June
14,
2021),
his
Chhichhore
co-star
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
recalled
his
fond
memories
of
working
with
the
late
actor
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
Indian
Express.
Sharing
his
experience
of
working
with
Sushant
on
this
film,
Tahir
called
him
as
an
intelligent
co-star
and
remembered
him
as
a
very
focused
actor.
"I
remember
Sushant
being
a
very
focused
actor
and
also
the
most
intelligent
co-star
I've
ever
worked
with.
He
really
believed
that
an
artiste
is
remembered
for
their
work,
and
that
was
the
most
positive
aspect
about
him.
He
was
so
much
more
than
the
movies
that
he
was
a
part
of,
he
was
an
intellectual
and
had
diverse
interests,
he
was
constantly
working
on
self-growth.
And
it
really
showed
in
the
fact
that
he
was
a
self-made
star,
and
such
a
great
motivating
force
for
us
all," he
told
the
leading
daily.
Before
Chhichhore,
Tahir
had
essayed
a
small
role
in
Sushant's
Bollywood
debut
film
Kai
Po
Che.
Speaking
about
the
same,
the
Looop
Lapeta
actor
said
that
he
feels
great
that
he
was
able
to
share
his
journey
with
"someone
who
had
achieved
more
in
one
life
time
than
most
people
achieve
in
three
lifetimes".
Indian
Express
quoted
Tahir
as
saying,
"Something
about
Sushant
that
really
stood
out
for
me
was
that
how
generous
he
was
with
praise.
I
had
done
a
small
role
in
Kai
Po
Che,
his
debut
feature
film.
It
was
nostalgic
for
the
both
of
us
to
watch
that
little
clip
together.
From
there,
we
played
brothers-buddies
in
this
film.
He
had
such
a
spectacular
journey
-
from
dancing
in
a
troop,
then
to
TV
and
films.
It
was
great
to
be
able
to
share
my
journey
with
someone
who
had
achieved
more
in
one
life
time
than
most
people
achieve
in
three
lifetimes."
Further
speaking
about
Chhichhore's
National
Award
win,
the
Mardaani
actor
called
it
a
bittersweet
news
as
they
all
wished
that
Sushant
was
with
them
when
they
celebrated
the
big
win.
He
also
called
Chhichhore's
success
a
"vaidation
of
Sushant's
last
film
choice".
