Om Puri received many awards including the Padma Shri, National Film Award for Best Actor, Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award, Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor etc. The cinematic genius passed away on January 6, 2017 due to heart attack.
Well, Om Puri is remembered not just for his impressive work but also for being in news for several controversial episodes. His autobiography, Unlikely Hero: The Story of Om Puri (2013) written in collaboration with his then-wife Nandita Puri, brought many of his undisclosed aspects  in spotlight. It exposed details about his early relationships, including his double sex-escapades with two maids. Her wife stated that the actor had sex with his maid Shanti at the age of 14 and had a long-term sexual and romantic relationship with a woman name Laxmi.
These revelations created a significant stir in the media. The angered Om Puri did not appreciated his wife exposing explicit details of sexual incidents and presenting it as some sort of achievement. The actor told a daily, “I don’t care if she’s my wife. I won’t let her get away with it. I am in Chandigarh shooting for a film. On Monday I heard Nandita speaking about the biography she has written on me. I was shocked by her revealations. It was so cheap. She was talking about my sexual encounters as though those were my biggest achievements!”
The actor further added, “My wife has reduced a very important and sacred part of my life to cheap and lurid gossip. I had shared these dark secrets with my wife as all husbands do. If she chose to make them public at least she should’ve made sure to maintain a dignity about experiences that are a valuable part of my life. Has she forgotten that I have a standing in society and I’ve worked hard to achieve all that I have today? I won’t allow her to throw it all away for the sake of sensationalism.

Candidly acknowledging his relationship with the woman Laxmi, Om Puri stated, “But it was not a furtive and sleazy experience. It was beautiful. Why make such a tamasha out of these very sensitive moments? Mahatma Gandhi spoke of his experiences with sexuality in The Story of My Experiments With Truth. Why highlight these aspects when there’s so much more to me? Do you know, when I was a child, I was traveling by train with my destitute mother. The entire compartment collected money to feed us. That incident remains etched in my mind. I was working in a teashop when I was seven years old. I had hoped when my life was chronicled it would be an inspirational story.” So why exactly did the actor allow his wife to write his autobiography? “I was aware that another lady (Aparajita Krishna) was writing my biography. When Nandita expressed a desire to write about me I couldn’t stop her because she’s my wife but she has forgotten who she is.”
Om Puri did had a confrontation with his journo wife. Talking about the late actor, Nandita said, “He was livid. The double escapades with the two maidservants has made Om feel he’ll be compared to Shiney Ahuja. Now my husband is angry, my publishers are upset and so am I.”
