Late actor, Om Puri‘s friend of 37 years, Farhat Khan recently told DNA that the veteran actor wished to settle down in Jhalawar, Rajasthan after his retirement. Unfortunately, the wish will now remain unfulfilled. The actor had reportedly bought a two-storey house there back in 2012 and expressed his wish to settle there as it was quiet and peaceful. Mr. Khan also recalled his last visit to the place in December and told the leading daily:
He had a strong liking for the city. That is why he wanted to spend old age here. I spoke to him recently and he told me he’d visit soon. But that was not meant to happen.
Om Puri’s sudden demise due to a heart attack last week came as a shocking news to the country and film industry alike. His commanding screen presence will be forever missed by Hindi cinema.
