Mumbai: Post the jaw dropping sexual revelations about his past in his wife’s book ‘Unlikely Hero: The Story Of Om Puri,’ that was followed by a very public altercation between the couple, Om Puri is now breathing fire on and all. The actor, who blasted his wife in media and termed her actions as sleazy and cheap, seems to backtracking on his words and is now blaming the publishers for not highlighting other parts of the book. Clearly regretting his fiery actions, the actor told a news daily, “I was very angry and admit that I said things that I shouldn’t have said. I deeply regret my impulsive nature. It has hurt my wife and my son Ishaan. Nandita has been bombarded with calls, messages and visitors inquiring about what I said". Talking about the repercussions, the actor said, "What’s worse is that my son Ishaan too has come under scrutiny. I’m not in Mumbai to protect them from the damage I’ve caused. I can’t sleep or focus on my work. I don’t want our child to suffer for the mistakes I have made. I therefore sincerely apologise to my wife and to my son for being so rash.” Angry with the publishers for sending out sensitive aspects about his sexual encounters to the media, Om said, “My anger should have been projected at the publishers for trying to pre-sell my wife’s book by leaking out only the sexual episodes. My story doesn’t need this kind of publicity.” “My son has been crying over the phone. I beg my wife and son’s forgiveness”, said the actor. Well, the next time it would be better for Om Puri to have a word with his wife before taking journo calls, as the entire façade now seems like a sleazy publicity stunt to market the book.
