New Delhi: Bollywood’s old hand Om Puri is one of the finest actors the Indian film industry has ever produced. Over the years, Om has captivated fans with his exceptional acting skills that have made a permanent space for him in the hearts of millions of his fans.
Except for his talent on screen, it was the actor’s humbleness and down-to-earth nature that made everyone fond of his personality during his days in Bollywood.
However, he also made headlines for being involved in a lot of controversies in his personal life and today, we are going to talk about one such controversy that shocked the actor’s entire fanbase to their core.
OM Puri’s s*x with 55-year-old maid
After getting divorced from Om Puri, his former wife Nandita wrote a biography called ‘The Unlikely Hero’ (2009) which revolved around the personal life of the late actor. In the biography, Nandita made a shocking claim about her ex-husband that made it into the headlines within no time.
She claimed that during his days as a teenager, OM Puri crossed every limit and got intimate with a 55-year-old female servant of his house. She further mentioned that Om also used to have regular s*x with his other maid Laxmi.
Nandita’s revelation soon landed the actor into trouble as people raised questions about the actor’s character and got curious to know the truth behind her claims.
Reports have it that when OM Puri was questioned about the serious allegations his ex-wife has made for him, he gave a cryptic answer and said, “aap batao isme 55 sal ki aurat ka kasoor tha ke 14 sal ke bacche ka?” (Just tell me was it a mistake of a 14-year-old boy or 55-year-old woman)
Om Puri’s Last Movie
Except for shining in the Indian film industry, Om Puri also gained significant fame overseas for his praiseworthy work in a number of iconic international hits like
His impeccable work in the acting industry earned him numerous awards including India’s highest civilian honor Padma Shree.
The last movie featuring Om is Suniel C Sinha’s political drama Khela Hobe which made it to the theaters earlier this year in February.
Its name is inspired by West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee’s iconic slogan which gained the nation with the population during the Bengal elections 2021.
