Demolishing class differences
When we asked Nandita for her side of the story, she said, "This is all such a mistake. My book on my husband is a biography, not bl***y pornography. The book is about Om, the man and the actor. Om has all the human foibles, just like all of us. He had sex as an adolescent with his maid and then he had a long liaison with the other lady who was also a maid. This was his way of coming out of his other relationships and demolishing class differences. If Om has any objection to her being called a maid he's just being unrealistic."
So are his sexual experiences an integral part of the book? "They are," admitted Nandita. "But that's not all." Apparently, the broadcast journalist who interviewed Nandita picked up excerpts from a weekly news magazine. "She called me on her show and for 20 minutes she spoke only about Om's sexual escapades. When I thought she'd question me about other aspects of Om's life in the book, the show was over. I was horrified. I was even more horrified when I saw the show," added Nandita.

Hi, At the time referred to, it was considered inappropriate for a man of higher status like OM to have a romantic/sexual relationship with a maid, who was considered to be of lower status. What Om did helped to destroy these artificial barriers that were based on social class. Clive
