Somy Ali’s Explosive Dark Revelation About Salman Khan Leaves Internet Shocked
While taking to her Instagram account, Somy Ali shared a detailed note about the toxicity and violence that she faced while being with Dabangg actor Salman Khan. It’s not the first time that Somy Ali shared such elaborated notes about being abused by Salman Khan. But, in the past, she deleted them. This time, she explained the reason behind her decision to delete them and claimed that the eight years she spent with Salmaan Khan were the worst years of her entire existence.
Why Somy Ali Deleted The Earlier Posts On Being Abused By Salman Khan
Sharing the reason why she deleted her earlier posts, she wrote: “Yes, because I had used profanity, my anger got the best of me. As the executive director of an NGO, it did not sit well with me to have profane posts on my social media. Thus, I deleted them.”
What Happened Between Somy Ali And Salman Khan
While answering the questions, she said,“The eight years spent with him were the worst years of my existence. In addition to tonnes of affairs and flings, he would constantly belittle me by calling me ugly, stupid, and dumb. Not a day passed that he wouldn’t make me feel worthless and small.”
Further sharing how Salman never acknowledged her publicly and went around with other women, Somi Ali said,“He would not acknowledge me as his girlfriend in public for years, and when he finally did, he would insult me in front of his friends and berate me nonstop. I have no qualms in saying that given his treatment of me, I chose to have affairs, which are essentially defined as a search for someone who would care for me and love me.”
What she added further left many shocked. She accused the superstar of committing an act of misogyny and hitting women,“Someone who would not insult me and would actually be nice to me. Unfortunately, I was unaware that these men were simply using me, and I was building a future with each affair while I was simply being used. When Salman learned of these affairs, he had the guts to after beating me, saying that I am a man and only men can cheat, not women. I was aghast at that statement and the sexism that reeked from it. Let’s not forget that just because Salman or anyone else is nice to you, they are the same as others. I had it the worst in terms of verbal, sexual, and physical abuse.”

What took Somy Ali so long to come out and talk about what she went through with Salman Khan?
Further sharing why she took so long to share her side of the story, she mentioned: “This is not breaking news by any means. Rummage through any tabloid or a film magazine from the early 90s to 1999 and you will read articles about Somy being physically abused by Salman.”Â

What side of Salman Khan is not out in the open, and why? How do you think speaking your truth will bring it out?
She also opened up about the ‘dark and hidden side of Salman Khan’, Somy said, “This is redundant, as I just explained in the question above. I want my truth to be known because I want my dignity and self-respect, which he ripped off of me, to be regained. I am looking for vindication, as that will also be a part of my healing. I am not seeking revenge; rather, I want him to confess to what he did to me and publicly apologize, which I know a man like Salman will never do. He is an egotistical maniac and will never change. He has far too many demons to ever be able to redeem himself for what he did to many women and even men simply by using his power.”
She also shared how actress Tabu visited her when she was crying in pain,“She began shedding tears because she couldn’t stand to see my condition. In 2018, I had back surgery because I couldn’t get out of bed. The surgeon asked me when it started, and I told him it was primarily due to a fall from a horse during a film shoot. Then the doctor asked me if I was ever in a physically abusive relationship, and I told him the truth. Being beaten and thrown around like a rag doll exacerbated my back problems with time, and now I have three titanium screws in my back and hardware in my stomach solely so I can stand up and function.”
