In a recent interaction with IANS, Somi Ali dismissed the rumors about her participation in ‘Bigg Boss 18’. She made it clear that she has no intention of joining the show, despite the widespread speculation. “I cannot be a part of a show whose duration is very long. I respect the show, but I have not seen a single episode of it. I don’t know what happens in it,” Somi said, putting an end to the rumors.
Somi’s Views on Reality Shows
Somi Ali further elaborated on her decision by expressing her views on reality shows in general. “I have heard that this entire show is scripted. I would like to be a part of a show that is not scripted. So even if they call me for it, I would not like to participate in it,” she explained. Somi also hinted that the rumors about her joining ‘Bigg Boss 18’ could be a strategy to boost the show’s ratings. “I think these rumors are a strategy to increase the ratings of the show, which networks often do. I have no intention of participating in any scripted reality show,” she added.
Somi’s Experience with Bollywood
Reflecting on her past experiences in the film industry, Somi shared an interesting anecdote. She recalled a time when she was asked to pretend to be in a relationship with an actor before the release of a film in the 90s. “I was asked to pretend to be in a relationship with an actor. This was asked to be done before the release of the film in the 90s, so this is not surprising for me at all,” Somi revealed. This experience seems to have influenced her decision to stay away from scripted shows like ‘Bigg Boss’.
Salman Khan and Somi Ali’s Relationship
For those who may not be familiar, Somi Ali was once in a relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The two dated for about 6-7 years before going their separate ways. Their relationship ended around the time Aishwarya Rai entered Salman’s life.

Despite her short career, Somi’s connection with Salman Khan keeps her name relevant in the industry.
