Om Puri's ex-wife Seema Kapoor reveals the actor cheated on her when she was 3-months pregnant, offered her Rs 25000 after their child passed away

Late actor Om Puri was once married to Seema Kapoor in 1990 for a brief period before marrying Nandita Puri. Recently, Seema revealed in an interview that Om Puri had cheated on her while she was 3-months pregnant.

During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Seema spoke about her turbulent marriage with Om Puri. She revealed that he was cheating on her with Nandita, about which Seema got to know much later. She further said that Om Puri met Nandita on the sets of their film City of Joy and things went downhill after that.

Speaking about the same, Seema stated, "Everything was going fine after our marriage, but that movie turned my life upside down… My good friend Renu Saluja, Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s first wife, knew about the affair. But she and Sudhir Mishra and everyone else chalked it down to a phase. They felt that he’d get back to normal after the film. I found out about the affair much later, when I was in Delhi. He called me up and told me that he was seeing someone else, and my friends said that he was just seeking attention."

Recalling another heartbreaking incident, Seema said, "But things became overwhelming; Puri sahab would drink too much, and Nandita would make a scene. One night, I decided to leave. I was three months pregnant." She further revealed that later when their child passed away, Om Puri sent her Rs 25,000 which she refused to take.
