Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been in the news after receiving renewed threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Following the recent passing of his close friend Baba Siddiqui, Salman’s security has been increased. Interestingly, the actor’s former girlfriend, Somy Ali, has come forward to openly support him during this time.
Somy Ali has made headlines with her bold statements aimed at Bishnoi, criticizing his actions. Her remarks have even sparked reactions from the Bishnoi community, but Somy remains firm in defending Salman.
Who is Somy Ali?
Somy Ali was born on March 25, 1976, into a well-known family in Karachi, Pakistan. Her father was a Pakistani Hindu, and her mother hailed from Iraq. Somy lived in Pakistan until the age of 9 before moving to Florida, USA. At 16, she decided to shift to Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood.
Somy made her film debut in 1993 with Krishna Avatar, starring Mithun Chakraborty. She later appeared in other films like Andolan, Mafia, and Aao Pyar Karein, but her career did not last long. Her final film appearance was in Chup (1997) alongside Om Puri. Since then, Somy has stayed away from the movie industry.
Relationship with Salman Khan: A Tumultuous Journey of 8 Years
Somy Ali moved to Bollywood with Salman Khan as her inspiration. The two began dating in 1991 and were together for 8 years. Though she acted with big stars like Govinda and Saif Ali Khan, Somy never worked with Salman on-screen.
Their relationship faced ups and downs, and it is said that Somy’s entry also caused a rift between Salman and his then-girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani. Despite their strong connection, Somy and Salman decided to part ways in 1999 due to ideological differences but remained on good terms.
Somy Ali Speaks Out Against Lawrence Bishnoi
In light of the current threats against Salman, Somy has expressed her support for the actor. She recently gave a statement targeting Lawrence Bishnoi, saying:
“I want to meet Lawrence Bishnoi because the screw in his mind is loose. He is not a 17-year-old kid but a 33-year-old lawyer. If he needs publicity, he should get it through advocacy, not crime.”
Somy’s remarks reflect her concern over Bishnoi’s actions, urging him to pursue a positive path rather than one of violence. She has been actively defending Salman amid the heightened tension surrounding the situation.
While Somy Ali no longer appears in films, her close connection with Salman and her outspoken nature keep her in the public eye. Her recent comments have reignited interest in her life and relationship with the Bollywood superstar.
