Om Puri's Kindness During Intense 'Chupp' Scenes

Actress Somy Ali recently shared heartfelt memories of the late actor Om Puri, highlighting his considerate behavior during the filming of the 1997 murder mystery, 'Chupp.' The film delved into themes of domestic violence, requiring intense emotional performances from Ali.

Ali recounted that Om Puri was exceptionally sensitive to her personal history. He consistently ensured her comfort, especially during scenes depicting abuse. Puri's method for support involved telling jokes after each take to ease her distress.

Reflecting on her career, Ali expressed immense honor for having worked alongside Bollywood legends such as Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Om Puri, and Rajesh Khanna. She specifically recalled a childhood declaration of wanting to marry Rajesh Khanna.

During the 'Chupp' shoot, Ali felt fortunate to have Om Puri as her lead, Jeetendra as a mentor, and Avinash Wadhawan as a natural co-star. She also shared that Jeetendra provided valuable life advice, while Om Puri, a skilled cook, inspired her culinary endeavors.

Ali expressed deep gratitude for the lessons learned from these actors, crediting them with contributing significantly to her accomplishments. She particularly misses their presence and the wisdom they imparted.
