Om Puri Net Worth: How much was his income from movies?

January 7, 2017 by BollywoodPresents Team

om puri

Om Puri Net Worth and Income. Om Puri is considered to be one of the finest Indian actors who worked not only in Indian films, but also in several Western films.

Om Puri Net Worth

While Om lived a simple life, many will be surprised to know that Om Puri’s net worth is estimated to be around $20 Million (Rs. 120 crores).

And that’s because Om dd a lot of foreign films where he would get paid handsomely. In India, Om would get paid around Rs. 20-25 lac per movie.

“Filmmakers take stars. I am not a star. Not commercially at least. I have been a wonderful actor, but not a commercial star. I have never got Rs one crore for a film, I get Rs 40-50 lakh only, or Rs 15-25 lakh,” said Om Puri to a newspaper.

Om Puri has acted in several British and American films. He featured in movies like London Dreams, East Is East, West is West, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Final, Charlie Wilson’s War, The Hundred-Foot Journey, and more.

Om Puri Personal Life

Om Puri’s first marriage was to Seema Kapoor in 1991 (sister of actor Annu Kapoor) but they got divorced only after eight months.

Later Om Puri married journalist Nandita Puri, and have a son, Ishaan Puri.

Even his second marriage was quite turbulent; Om and Nandita got separated in 2013.

When Nandita wrote a biography about Om Puri in 2009 called ‘Unlikely Hero: The Story of Om Puri’, the versatile actor was quite furious because she had included several personal details of his previous relationships without taking his permission.

Om Puri died of a heart attack at the age of 66.

Well, we just hope there’s no issue over who gets the money after Om Puri’s death.
