We lost Om Puri some one and half month back, and our grief-stricken hearts are still trying to recover from the lose of a talented actor. So, when Indians on Monday morning Oscar, saw Puriâs name in the Memoriam Mentions, we were bound to cherish the moment like nothing else.
Om Puri is usually described as a global actor who has been working all around the globe for as long as we can remember. He was out there before it was fashionable or even ground-breaking to perform in Hollywood and global cinema.
People on twitter were not able to contain their excitement for the same and showed their gratitude to the late actor.
