His Acting Proficiency Was Unmatched
ओमपुरी ने जिस संघर्ष को जीया, शायद उसी को सिनेमा के पर्दे पर चरित्रों के माध्यम से व्यक्त कर दिया । आज उनके जन्मदिन पर उन्हें याद कर हमें अपनी सिनेमाई विरासत पर गर्व महसूस होता है। 🍁 pic.twitter.com/tGLj4ljfFy

Which is Your Favourite Om Puri Performance?
I don't think I've ever met anyone who has seen films and doesn't have a favorite #OmPuri performance. Mine is his Ahuja from #JaaneBhiDoYaaro. No offence to his Anant Welankar from Ardh Satya. Long before we had Irrfan and Nawazuddin, we had Om Puri. What an absolute genius! pic.twitter.com/0nH6K46c1a

Om Puri's absence on the big and small screens is deeply felt and it's hard to think of a name who can match his acting talent. He was a world-renowned actor and Bollywood was lucky to have a gem like him. Om Puri, a name that defines the word 'legend'.
