Ambala, Haryana where he born will remember their son for many reason. His father worked in the railways and in the Indian Army.
He graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. He was also an alumnus of the 1973 class of the National School of Drama where Naseeruddin Shah was a fellow student.
How ever his controversial statement about Indian Army made some dent in his fame in recent time. But as an actor he will be remembered for ever.
My heartfelt condolences to family & fans of veteran actor Om Puri ji. Cinema world has lost a brilliant artist.
