•In this episode, Nandita Puri, shares how Om ji didn't like to display his many prestigious and coveted awards but instead stored them in a cupboard at home. Post their marriage Nandita managed to coax him into displaying a few in his office flat. Omji was extremely humble, and believed in giving his 100 percent to his work. He did not work for awards but for his passion for acting. Humility was one of Om Puri's biggest quality. The idea behind this episode is to highlight this aspect of him and to inspire actors to be humble and committed to work hard and not worry about recognition and rewards. If one works hard success will follow.
Stay tuned to know more about Om Puri from The Puris, in Puri Baatein.’
