Somy Ali, a former actress turned social activist, recalls her connection with superstar Salman Khan and accused him of physically assaulting her.
Somy Ali, a former actress turned social activist who was also Salman Khan’s ex-girlfriend, regularly speaks out about his physical abuse when they were together.
Somy Ali has been vocal on social media about the domestic abuse she has endured as a result of Salman Khan. But she erased such posts in the past, but now she has explained why and stated that “the eight years I spent with him were the worst years of my whole existence.”
She replies, in response to the queries concerning the deletion of the messages, “Yes, because I had used profanity and my rage had taken over. As the executive director of an NGO, seeing vulgar postings on my social media did not set right with me. As a result, I removed them.”
Another topic that people frequently ask her is, “What happened between Somy and you?”
In her essay, she answered, adding, “The eight years I spent with him were the darkest years of my life. Along with a slew of relationships and flings, he would continually make fun of me by calling me ugly, stupid, and dumb. He never stopped making me feel useless and insignificant.”
“For years, he refused to accept me as his girlfriend in public, and when he did, he insulted me in front of his friends and berated me incessantly. Given his attitude of me, I have no problems in admitting that I decided to have affairs, which are fundamentally described as a quest for someone who would care for and love me.”
She recounted what occurred between her and Salman in her essay, condemning the actor for claimed acts of sexism and woman battering, “someone who would not insult me and who genuinely be friendly to me. Unfortunately, I was oblivious that these men were merely using me, and that with each affair, I was establishing a future for myself while being exploited. When Salman discovered these encounters, he had the audacity to beat me and tell me that I am a man and only men can cheat, not women. I was shocked by the comment and the misogyny it emitted. Let us not forget that just because Salman or anybody else is good to you does not mean they are nice to everyone else. I had that the other day.
Salman Khan was associated to women such as Sangeeta Bijlani, Katrina Kaif, and Aishwarya Rai, who is now married to Abhishek Bachchan, after Somy Ali. Salman Khan is presently said to be dating model Iulia Vantur.
“Those 8 Years Were the Worst of My Life,” says Somy Ali of her relationship with Salman Khan.
