And just when I thought there was nothing to write about, D tells me about Om Puri’s reaction to his wife’s shocking expose of his sexual encounters.
Ok, so all you married people know this already, tell your partner one thing in a moment of emotion, and it will come back to you. I can’t blame D of being so vindictive, but I am, and I have been known to bring up a lot of things in a fight. I won’t say it is ok to do that, and I am sure a lot of you have done this, but something as cheap as what Om Puri’s wife went and did, is unacceptable by any standard. See, writing your man’s autobiography does not mean you have to make him look like some sleazy sex maniac who waits to pounce upon the first maid in sight. I am sure there were other more inspirational parts of Om Puri’s life that the sensation-hungry wife of his forgot to mention, in trying to sell her book through all that sexual drama. This is such sheer breach of trust. And no matter how she tries to defend herself now, the fact that she did not let him touch the manuscript before, let alone seeing it, does that not prove that she had wanted it to be this way all along?
And before you ask, I see nothing wrong with Om Puri himself. So he had sex with a maid as an adolescent. Big deal man. I know a lot of men who have at various ages fucked their teachers, aunts, cousins, maids, family friend’s daughters, neighbours and every other woman possible. Only I do wish Om Puri was not trying to make it sound like some prize-winning achievement comparing himself to Gandhi (and I am talking of sleaze) and all.
What these people do not seem to understand is, no matter how well you aim your pee, the last drop will always fall on your own pants. Saying such things about her husband shows Mrs. Puri in such cheap light too. But do you agree with me when I say that she has sought her fifteen seconds of fame through an utter betrayal of her husband’s trust? Or do you think this was art for its own sake and sex that needed a public discussion? Speak up, and it will be muchly appreciated.

Betrayal with a motive: Getting back at hubby darlin for Liaison avec Laxmi in the first place (assuming that it happened after their marriage. I haven’t read the book, and I don’t think I will, so I could be off the mark here).
I truely agree with u suchi..
whatever wifey darling is saying now doesnt make much sense. it is definitely a breach of trust.if she was soo concerned about writing all that stuff she should have taken Om’s permission first.
Definitely breach of trust. And she had no business going about writing all that stuff without getting Om’s permission anyways, seems like she was going for revenge.
Oh cut the poor woman some slack. How does a woman feel if her husband is screwing maids all his life but wants to keep that squeaky clean image of his untouched? I think Nandita Puri is pretty much justified in what she did. Men like this need to be exposed to the world in the worst way possible. What breach of trust are you talking about anyway? He had done nothing worth any respect or trust, had he? So if his wife decides to vent it out after all these years who is to blame?
Now this is risque. If the incidents had happened before the marriage, there was no point in washing dirty latex in public unless she was also going to write about how often the man masturbates. And if she wasn’t, picking on his adolescent behaviour and choosing the juiciest of them sounds so much like she was depending on these soft-porn episodes to sell her book. If these did happen post the marriage, it only reflects on how poor the marriage has been for the two of them if the man has to seek refuge in another woman, a housemaid, elitist as this sounds. What I do not understand here is, if he had done these things in the first place, and regards them as absolutely beautiful and non-sleazy, what bars him from making them public? We hide what we are ashamed of, and if he thought he was right in doing what he did, what’s this hue and cry all about?
I do not know Om Puri or his wife. I am making this comment because I followed the link on your blog and saw them as two ordinary celebrities who were making a lot of noise. Correct me if I am wrong.
I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned from this little piece of news.
One, Sorry if I am irking feminists here, but maids can always mean trouble. So can any woman placed beneath you economically. Cases in point, Bill Clinton, Ex-Brit PM Sebastian Brown, Shiney Ahuja, and now Om Puri.
Two, If you think your wife is the vindictive type and she has access to a publisher, online or otherwise, keep your trap shut. You never know how things are going to come back to you. A fight or two in the early years of marriage will tell you what she is like. Stick to your first impressions
Three, Do not go cheating on your wife and believe she will accept your apologies and be ok about you spreading your DNA about. Get out of Disneyland, will ya?
Four: If the wife says she is writing about you and does not let you read it, drug her, knock her out, send her on an all-expense paid trip to the Dubai Shopping Festival and read whatever she has written. Hell will break loose after that, but at least you will know what to say.
That said, it is as much his fault as it is hers. He had no reason to crib if he has really done that and lived out a very male fantasy. He could simply be dignified about it, keep shut and retire into his South of France villa for some time till reporting on this issue becomes passe. And she could save herself some sniggers at the next kitty party where women doubtless wll size her up for being the hag whose husband sleeps with maids for pleasure and calls it beautiful.
I rest my case.
Surprise! The man succumbs:

Another one bites the dust !!
Wow! What a great site you have made. I don’t usually post on blogs but had to on yours. You have a very unique writing style. A lot of people don’t have that touch, they just drone on and on in the most boring way. But not you – thanks! I found this site when looking for something else on about.com, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will return soon to see the latest updates.
Hey!
Totally agree with everything written up there by all. I just put up a post on the same and so get the sentiments. Here;s my question though- don’t you think we, as the mass is helping the Mrs succeed in her little gimmick? Talking about it incessantly just helps her get publicity. And obviously ‘any ‘ publicity is good enough for her!
