Om Puri’s Tragic Final Years: Ex-Wife Speaks Out

Om Puri, the acclaimed actor known for his powerful performances, led a difficult final decade, according to his ex-wife Seema Kapoor. In a recent interview, Seema opened up about the struggles Om Puri faced during his later years, painting a picture of pain and hardship.

Seema and Om Puri were married for a brief period in the early 1990s, but their relationship ended in divorce. Despite the past, Seema says their bond improved in the later stages of Om Puri’s life. She shared that he sincerely apologized for his past actions, which led to her forgiving him.

However, Seema emphasized that Om Puri’s last 10 years were marked by sadness and suffering. He battled depression, illness, and the weight of past regrets. She recalled his struggles, highlighting his humble beginnings and the challenges he faced throughout his life, such as having to clean dishes in a roadside eatery to make ends meet.

Seema’s account sheds light on a side of Om Puri often unseen by the public. She believes he deserves compassion and understanding, not criticism, during this difficult period. She said, ‘He never got anyone’s support in his youth. He used to go to school by bicycle, he cleaned utensils in a dhaba.’

Seema’s words offer a poignant glimpse into the personal struggles of a celebrated actor, reminding us that even those who achieve great success can face immense challenges in their lives.
