Om Puri is angry. So is his wife Nandita, who has written his to-be-released biography. They are upset that only a tiny part of the book, which speaks about Om's past affairs, is being highlighted in the media.



I opened up!

"It is unfortunate that only passages that were released pertains to my love life," Om Puri told HiTLIST on Wednesday. "The book has a lot more than that. In the last 32 years, there has been no controversy. I have closely guarded my childhood all this while. I decided to open up in this book." The book traces his journey from when he was a seven-year-old ragpicker in Bhatinda to a tea-shop boy to a 15-year-old who offered tuitions for a living to being regarded as one of the finest actors in the world.

"It's a story of millions of Indians. Just because I have made it, it will be heard," he said, adding he was not upset with his wife for putting the intimate details. "I had told Nandita everything. Every-thing. There's no question of a misunderstanding," he said. Nandita Puri said her book was much more than the two controversial passages, as it was "a documentation of the Shabana-Naseer-Smita-Om era".
