On Wednesday morning, well-known art director Nitin Desai died by suicide. He reportedly died by hanging himself at his own ND Studios in the suburb of Karjat. Nitin passed away a week before his 58th birthday, which is on August 9. It's unclear what led him to take his own life.

In terms of art direction, Nitin won four National Awards. To name just a few, he worked on the production design of the sumptuous sets for the films by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ashutosh Gowariker, namely Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Jodha Akbar, Lagaan, and Bajirao Mastani. In the course of his nearly two-decade-long career, Nitin collaborated with many filmmakers, which also included Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, among others.
