Nitin Desai crushed by stress, loan repayment pressure, close friend alleges

Days after Nitin Desai was found dead in his studio, his close associate Nitin Kulkarni has now levelled fresh allegations. In a recent interview, Kulkarni claimed that Desai was pressurised by the finance company for the repayment of the loan and therefore he could not bear the stress and took this unfortunate step.

“I am trying to get a meeting with chief minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Mr Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Mr Ajit dada Pawar to help find a way that Nitin Desai’s wife, who is one of the directors of the studio, does not have to face any more torture and pressure from the lender company and bear the liabilities of the studio," he told E-Times.

“Incidentally, Desai’s birthday fell on August 6 and his wife and his daughter insisted on celebrating his birthday before his daughter could leave for the US. But Desai told them that this year he would not be celebrating his birthday. Nobody even in their wildest thoughts imagined that not celebrating the birthday would mean something as gruesome as this," he added.
