‘Kya budhia, kyun sadd rahi hai yahan, tu bhi mere saath swarg chal’ – Om Puri.

While the nation still mourns the untimely demise of the veteran actor Om Puri, who left us on the morning of January 6th, some shocking revelations are coming out in the open. Although, it is said that the Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron star got taken away from us by a heart attack, a confirmed cause of death being a head injury calls for some serious questions.

In a leading daily, the actors’ newly appointed image consultant, Smita Singh shared some interesting insights. She stated that the late artist expressed his struggle that was rooted out of his wife’s betrayal and his desire to meet his son. “He was vulnerable that evening…he had the haunted look of a broken man,”

Nandita Puri, Om Puri’s second wife, published his autobiography, which included some dark coveted secrets of his bedroom life. The actor felt that he has been made a joke out of by this gesture.

“We were supposed to go for Pankaj Kapur’s daughter, Sana, and Pahwa’s son, Mayank’s engagement ceremony. Om called me and by the time we got there, he reached my house. He went up to my mom and said, ‘kya budhia, kyun sadd rahi hai yahan. Tu bhi mere saath swarg chal.’ He was in high spirits. He called me again and said, ‘Tum aur Ishaan jaldi aa jao.’ I told him we’d see him later. When he called me again, I told him, it’s too late; we’ll see you tomorrow.’ Ishaan and I still regret not seeing him that day. Ishaan was going to be with him on January 8, 9 and 10 for the shooting of Tubelight, and they were to head to Khandala from there,” said Nandita.

“We were not divorced and are still legally married. We had a separation. Trishul is his home and my marital home. By the Hindu law, he was allowed one wife. It can be an ex-wife and a current wife. Om had only one wife. He helped his nephews and strangers, but now when his son needs him, he is gone. I’ll miss him terribly because he is a habit. I have spent the longest part of my life with him more than my son or my parents.” she adds.

Looks like there’s more than what meets the eye with our favorite B-Town veteran! Watch this space for more
