Director Nitesh Tiwari expressed shock at the sudden death of Suhani Bhatnagar, who played young Babita Phogat in the film ‘Dangal.’ The 19-year-old actress passed away at AIIMS, New Delhi, due to an adverse reaction to medication prescribed for fluid accumulation.

Tiwari described her passing as “absolutely shocking and heartbreaking,” praising her as a “happy soul, so full of life.” Suhani, who transitioned from ad commercials to focus on studies, will be laid to rest at Faridabad’s Ajronda crematorium. ‘Dangal’ depicts the inspiring journey of Geeta and Babita Phogat in wrestling, with Aamir Khan playing their father.
