Veteran actor Om Puri is no more! Yes, he got a massive heart attack this morning and passed away at the age of 66.
Ashoke Pandit, the filmmaker, who happens to be a very good friend of Om Puri gave confirmation of this news on Twitter today morning. Everything was going well; Om Puri returned home after a shoot last evening. However, his door bell went unanswered today morning, after which the driver informed everyone.
As of now, the actor’s body is at his Andheri residence and colleagues and B-Town actors have arrived for paying their last respects. He will be badly missed; his performance in Hollywood, British, Pakistani and Hindi cinema was mind-bowing. Here’s how the PM and celebrities reacted on this news!Sad & shocked to know that versatile actor Om Puri jee has expired due to heart attack early morning today. #RIP.— Ashoke Pandit (@ashokepandit) 6 January 2017
