Somy Ali talks about her relationship with Salman Khan
Somy shared that she dated Salman when she was just 16 years old and claimed he had “eight one-night stands” while they were together. When asked why she left the film industry, she said, “I was tired of Salman’s eight night stands, not just one. I also didn’t like being physically and verbally abused.” She chose to leave when she learned about another woman in his life and wanted to focus on her education.
She shared that her decision to enter Bollywood was driven by her teenage crush on Salman. “I didn’t go there to act; it was a silly crush. Meeting him was disappointing,” she noted, adding, “I think Ted Bundy had better manners than Salman.”

Somy also touched on serious issues in the industry, suggesting that Sushant Singh Rajput was murdered, rather than having died by suicide. She also mentioned Jiah Khan’s tragic death, hinting at Salman’s involvement.

Recently, Somy also expressed interest in speaking with Lawrence Bishnoi on Instagram, amid reports death threats against Salman Khan.
Somy, who was active in Bollywood throughout the 90s, left the industry and India after her relationship with Salman ended in 1999, reportedly when he began dating Aishwarya Rai.
