By Financial Challenges During Their Wedding
Nandita Puri, the late actor Om Puri’s wife, recently revealed that financial constraints prevented him from buying her a mangalsutra or wedding ring when they married in 1991. Nandita shared that during their wedding, Om was facing tough economic times, making it difficult to afford such jewelry.
A Turning Point in Their Lives
Despite the initial struggles, things changed for the couple when Om secured a role in Jack Nicholson’s Hollywood film, Wolf. Nandita fondly recalled how, after achieving success in his career, Om surprised her with a mangalsutra and a wedding ring about six or seven months into their marriage.
“He told me, ‘I don’t have money for a mangalsutra for you, but I have two hands, and I will ensure that you are fine,'” Nandita recounted, highlighting Om’s determination and love. After landing the role, he arranged a honeymoon in Los Angeles, turning a first-class ticket into two business class tickets for them.
The Challenges of Fame and Marriage
Nandita also reflected on the challenges their marriage faced later, particularly after the publication of Om’s biography. She filed a case of domestic violence against him in 2017, the same year Om sadly passed away. Despite the ups and downs, Nandita cherishes the memories of their early days together, filled with love and perseverance.
