Om Puri wanted to meet his son before his death?

According to a report in a leading tabloid, police has recorded the statement of producer Khalid Kidwai who is claiming that he was there with Om just a few hours before his death.

"Om Puri wanted to meet his son Ishan on Thursday evening. So we (Kidwai and Om Puri) went to Trishul building where his ex-wife Nandita lives with Ishan but were unable to meet them as both Nandita and Ishan had gone for a party. Om Puri then had an argument over the phone with Nandita and asked them to come soon as he wanted to meet his son," reads the statement.

"He poured a drink in his glass and waited for almost 45 minutes at Nandita's flat. But when they did not turn up, he took the glass and liquor bottle and started drinking in the car. After finishing the drink, we left," added Kidwai's statement.

When he was contacted by the tabloid, Kidwai said, "I have given them a detailed account of whatever happened on Thursday. I have also told police that he desperately wanted to meet his son, Ishan, but unfortunately, it did not happen."
