Great character actor who also acted in 7 Hollywood films. Nobody acted better in a character role than OM

Om Puri, a great actor, made his debut in the 1976 Marathi film, Ghashiram Kotwal.

Om Puri was critically acclaimed for his performances in many unconventional roles as a victimized tribal in the movie Aakrosh. His Ardh Satya won him National Film Award for Best actor. Puri acted in some regional movies in Telugu and Kannada.

May his soul rest in peace

OMG... thats a shocker. Yes was a great actor. RIP 

Om Puri was one of the best actors we had and even lately he did a commendable job in Maalamal weekly,..But sadly he was also involved in domestic violence cases where he was accused of physically abusing his ex-wife and later his second wife as well! I guess this was one of his shortcomings..

May his soul rest in peace !

What!!! I am really finding it hard to believe that he physically abused his wives! I missed the news! He was indeed a great actor and to hear something like that totally knocks you down! So almost all 'great' people do have feet of clay!
