Pakistani born American actress and Salman Khan's ex-girlfriend Somy Ali has made some shocking revelations about being raped and molested as a child.
The actress who has featured in many Bollywood movies in the 90s has now turned into a social activist and is now working with an NGO 'No More Tears' where she rescues rape victims.
However recently during an interview, where she opened up about her traumatizing experience as a child, Somy told that she was molested at the age of 5, 9 and raped at the age of 14 years.
While talking to Peeping moon, Somy said: "The first time I was sexually abused in Pakistan, I was 5 years old. There were 3 incidents in the servant’s quarters. I told my mum and dad, actions were taken. But what my parents told me is that, “Beta yeh kisiko batana nahi.” In my head, I lived with that for years. I thought, "Did I do something wrong? Why was I told by my parents?" Pakistan and Indian cultures are very image-based. They were protecting me but I didn’t understand it. Again there was an incident at 9, then again at 14".
She further added, "Three years ago, I started speaking out. Even though I was running this non-profit organisation for 14 years, I found myself hypocritic for not being able to speak up."
Somy Ali entered the Bollywood industry with her films in 90's, however more than films her alleged relationship with superstar Salman Khan was in much hype back then.
The actress has now quit acting and has turned an activist running her own NGO.
