Ex-girlfriend Somy Ali on Salman Khan house firing incident: I apologise to Bishnoi community on his behalf

Somy Ali, an actor, who was in a relationship with Salman Khan during the 1990s, has expressed her thoughts on a recent firing incident outside Salman's house. Despite their past difficulties, Somy has spoken out in support of Salman. She stated, “No one deserves what he went through, be it Salman, Shah Rukh or my neighbour.”

Reflecting on the challenges Salman faced, Somy mentioned, “I won’t wish upon my enemy what he has been through. All said and done, no one deserves what he went through. My prayers are with him. No matter what has happened, let bygones be bygones. I would never ever wish something like that to happen to anyone.”

Somy's stance comes after learning about the firing incident at Salman’s house, which left her and her mother shocked. “He and his family always have our blessings. Everyone is image-conscious, be it you, me, Salman, Shah Rukh or anybody. So, he did whatever he felt was right on his part. But currently, my focus is on what he is going through. Nobody deserves what he is experiencing right now,” she added.

Somy further added, "Somy also feels nobody has a right to break the law and opines, “Even today, I do make mistakes; you also make mistakes. We'll keep making mistakes till we are alive, it's human nature. This is innately built within us and nobody is perfect. But if you're attempting to kill someone or firing bullets on him then you're crossing the line. I don't support hunting as a sport but this event took place so many years ago. Salman was much younger in 1998. I want to request the head of the Bishnoi tribe to forget about it and move on. I apologise on his behalf (Salman) if he has made a mistake and please forgive him.”
