"His body of work in the Indian film industry has been tremendous across the commercial and parallel genres. We've lost a great talent."
Actor Anupam Kher, a close friend of Om Puri, said he had spoken to him just two days ago, and the disheartening news of his demise was broken to him by filmmaker Ashoke Pandit.
Kher described Om Puri as a "kind and generous" person, who spent four decades in showbiz with an undying passion towards his craft.Seeing him lying on his bed looking so calm can’t believe that one of our greatest actors #OmPuri is no more. Deeply saddened & shocked.
