Somy Ali, Salman Khan‘s ex-girlfriend, has broken her silence and addressed the controversy surrounding her recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session in an Instagram post. During the session, Somy made shocking claims about Salman, Sushant Singh Rajput‘s demise and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoiwhich raised several eyebrows. The actor-turned-activist has now clarified that her participation in the session was solely intended to promote her NGO, No More Tears, which supports survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.
She shared a lengthy note on Instagram, expressing disappointment over the misinterpretations and distractions caused by certain comments made by Akshay Sharma, the Vice President of No More Tears, during the session. According to Somy, these comments about Salman Khan and the death of Sushant Singh Rajput were made without her knowledge or approval. She also expressed her frustration with the media’s focus on her past relationships, particularly with Salman Khan, stating that she has no interest in discussing personal matters.
She wrote, “I want to take a moment to address the recent controversy surrounding a Reddit session that has gone viral. My purpose in participating in the session was solely to promote No More Tears, my NGO dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. Unfortunately, some comments made in my name by Akshay Sharma, the Vice President of No More Tears about Salman Khan and even Sushant Singh Rajput’s death without my knowledge or approval, led to a wave of misinterpretations and distractions. Everyone knows I can’t type so fast in a live session.
I’ve spent the past 17 years deeply committed to helping survivors of abuse and trafficking, and it is incredibly disappointing to see the narrative shift toward unrelated and controversial topics. I have no interest in discussing individuals from my past or anything beyond the work we do at No More Tears. I agreed to the session to raise awareness of my NGO’s mission, not to create controversy.
Somy Ali’s Explosive Claims on Salman Khan, Aishwarya, and the Bishnoi Feud Go Viral
I am no more interested in giving zoom video interviews where they ask only about Salman to raise TRP of their news shows. Moving forward, I will be limiting my media interactions to ensure the focus remains on No More Tears. After living quietly for 14 years, I only started speaking with the media three years ago to help raise awareness for my work. This exposure has helped build support for the organization, and I’m immensely grateful for those who have joined in our mission.
Despite facing trolling and negativity, I remain focused and determined. I appeal to everyone to join me in stopping abuse of any kind. We are all humans, deserving of equal rights and a life of dignity. As Rajesh Khanna beautifully said, “Zindagi bahut khoobsurat hai, jeene ka salika aana chhaiye”—Life is very beautiful; one must know how to live it.
Thank you for your support. Let’s keep the focus on what truly matters: helping those in need and creating a world where everyone is free from abuse.
With gratitude,
Somy.”
