Seema & Nandita Hold Separate Prayer Meets Of Om Puri



The death of Om Puri sent shock waves through the film industry on Friday and the grief was evident as some of his collaborators gathered at a gurudwara in Four Bungalows (Andheri) for a prayer meet this evening (See the video above).

Shabana Azmi, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Govind Nihalani, Mita Vashisht, Jackie Shroff, Karanvir Bohra and Divya Dutta were among those who were seen making their way into the service which was organised by Puri’s first wife Seema Kapoor and her brother Annu Kapoor.

The duo stood at the gate ushering the mourners in.

Interestingly just a few kilometres away, Om Puri’s second wife Nandita Puri had organised a memorial service of her own at the ISKCON Temple in Juhu.

Some of the biggest names in Bollywood, including Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan gathered for that prayer meet.
