Overview
- Seema Kapoor told Hindi Rush, as reported on Monday, June 22, that she married Om Puri in 1991 and separated within about a year after discovering he was involved with another woman while she was pregnant.
- She said she suffered a miscarriage during the separation and coped by writing letters to the lost child, a practice she credits with helping her return to writing and later producing an autobiography.
- Kapoor says family members, especially her brother Annu Kapoor, urged her to pursue legal action but she declined to litigate because she did not want a public fight.
- She recalled refusing a Rs 25,000 payment sent through Puri’s secretary and said Puri reconnected in his final years, calling to apologise before a London surgery; Om Puri died in 2017 at age 66.
- The June 22 reports in The Indian Express, Hindustan Times and India Today present Seema Kapoor’s first-person recollections and offer no new legal findings or independent confirmation of the allegations.
