Bollywood veteran actor Om Puri died an untimely death and it has shocked B-Town. His friends and family have been sharing fond memories which they had with the actor. After his unfortunate passing, the police has been investigating the matter and have come up with more details.
Police has recorded the statement of producer Khalid Kidwai, who claims that he was present with the actor few hours before his death. He said, “Om Puri wanted to meet his son Ishan on Thursday evening. So we (Kidwai and Om Puri) went to Trishul building where his ex-wife Nandita lives with Ishan but were unable to meet them as both Nandita and Ishan had gone for a party. Om Puri then had an argument over the phone with Nandita and asked them to come soon as he wanted to meet his son.”
He further added, “He poured a drink in his glass and waited for almost 45 minutes at Nandita’s flat. But when they did not turn up, he took the glass and liquor bottle and started drinking in the car. After finishing the drink, we left.”
Kidwai later gave a statement to a leading tabloid, “I have given them a detailed account of whatever happened on Thursday. I have also told police that he desperately wanted to meet his son, Ishan, but unfortunately, it did not happen.”
