Somy Ali who had often hinted about the exploitation she had to undergo throughout her limited span in the Bollywood in the ’90s, however have restraint herself from disclosing any names in the public. According to the actress, she believes that “he is not worth” the mention.
As per the reports, she has also dated superstar Salman Khan for a while. She was seen in movies like Krishan Avtaar (1993), Anth (1994) and Chupp (1997). “Well, the writing is on the wall. I do not want to keep beating the same drum over and over again, but anyone with an iota of common sense is aware of what this is all about,” averred Ali.
The actress goes on to continue, “It’s only people who put an end to something with their reach and power when they have something to hide and are ashamed the world will find out.. It was done and I was wronged, but my family and friends and I reiterate that the witnesses back knew exactly what occurred and this makes me sleep quite peacefully at night”.
“To outright deny that one is never physically abused by anyone and that anyone being me is at this point laughable and I pity the perpetrator who has to live with the demons and carry them for eternity. He is not even worth mentioning by name. That’s how small he is to me now after I have finally shared my truth and obtained complete catharsis I feel free at last,” she added.
The actress also expressed her objection in giving director Sajid Khan a mass forum and helping him returning with all shine. Several other women also expressed their views on Khan’s presence in the show.
Interestingly, the actress is certain about the fact that if she opens up about the instances, she might be trolled badly. She averred that, “They treated the accusers as worthless liars and I know this firsthand as I have been through it and still am going through it. “I have come to terms with the fact that the rich, famous and powerful will always have an upper hand when it comes to the lesser known and powerless victims”.
She further adds, “For the trolls, particularly women who hero worship and are starstruck, I pray to God that nothing like this ever happens to your daughters, sisters, mothers, and all your loved ones. Get over the awe and get educated please for the love of God on how prevalent domestic violence is and it does not discriminate whether you are a layperson, an athlete, a politician and in my case a movie star”.
“If criminals are going to be held on a pedestal and make appearances on TV shows, it will only strengthen their convictions to continue what they have been doing to helpless women. By giving these people a platform, one is only enhancing and patting their backs confirming that what they did is actually fine and okay to do again. These people are enablers for all the wrong reasons because they are members of the same club,” she concluded.
