‘Om Puri betrayed my sister, ruined her life’: Annu Kapoor on his sister’s painful marriage, messy divorce | Bollywood News

The late Om Puri may be remembered as one of India’s finest performers, but for Annu Kapoor, the memories are far more personal and complicated. In a recent conversation, Kapoor revisited a difficult chapter involving his sister Seema Kapoor’s brief marriage to Puri, recalling both his admiration for the actor and the hurt that followed. In a conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Kapoor called Om Puri an extraordinary performer. He said, “Om Puri was a phenomenal actor. There was no great actor like him, but that was a different matter. He became someone’s husband, and after becoming someone’s husband, he betrayed a woman, and that is where things went wrong, and I am that woman’s brother.” Kapoor was referring to his sister, Seema Kapoor, who was briefly married to Puri in the early 1990s. Their marriage ended within months after Seema discovered his relationship with another woman. They reconnected in his final years, after he suffered health concerns. ‘My sister’s life was ruined’ Opening up about his anger at the time, Kapoor said, “He would have …

Seema Kapoor, who is the sister of veteran actor Annu Kapoor, was married to Om Puri for a very brief period of time. After having known each other for over a decade, they tied the knot in 1991, which ended in just 8 months. Seema was three months pregnant when Om Puri asked for a divorce and was having affair with Nandita, who he eventually married. The chaos between the couple started when Seema found out about Om Puri’s love affair with Nandita within a few months of her marriage. While this caused a lot of fights between the two, Seema decided to walk out when three months pregnant thinking this might make Om realise his mistake, but that never happened. This made Seema’s brothers Annu Kapoor and Ranjit Kapoor extremely furious, who wanted to drag Puri to the Supreme Court to get justice to their sister. Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Seema said, “I thought going away from him might make him miss me. So I came to my brother, but that assessment of mine …
