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!

True Kalyani, I suppose the stress and pressure is even more for artists..

This comes across as a second shocker. Its sad to hear when brilliant actors like OM Puri are associated with something as lowly and gross as domestic violence. 

Yes,  I had heard about him being involved in domestic violence against his wives.

But when it comes to acting, he was a true gem and his loss is a great loss to cinema and theatre.

May his soul rest in peace

 Let me say in one single sentence  about  Om Puri's  acting potential. "Om Puri is , India's gift Global Cinema".

A lot of celebrities are involved in domestic violence and cases of abuse ..They manage to cover it up and project a clean image to the world.

The cine goers will certainly miss Om Puri the actor and many among them will not bother about the negative side of his character. But, those who are sensitive won't be able to overlook it still no one can underrate his talent.

It is good to be balanced in our view , rather than go overboard when we like someone and condemning others who we don't like ..All humans have some shortcomings or the other so we have to accept people including artists with their negativity . Om Puri was part of the intelligent cinema who has contributed a lot and will always be remembered for his contributions 

Om Puri was a talented actor. He was a commedian, character artist and villian. Ardhsatya is milstone movie of Puri.

He was a natural artist. I don't know that he acted in Telugu movies,  for a talented artist language is not a problem. Sadgati and Mandi is also nice movie of Om Puri.
