Actress Somy Ali, known for her boldness and honest opinions, is not afraid to speak her mind. In a recent interview, she shared an interesting story from her past. She recalled how Suniel Shetty took her aside after she made critical comments on a film, offering her some advice. Speaking to the Free Press Journal, Somy recalled a time when she attended a private screening of a film’s rushes at Sanjay Dutt’s house. She openly criticized the film, calling it one of the worst she had seen, which visibly upset the director.

She said: “I went to see rushes of a film and told the director it was the worst film I had ever had to see. I remember very well that it was at Sanju’s because they had a theater where people often watched rushes. The director looked like he saw a dead body when I told him that.”

Seeing the situation, Suniel Shetty took Somy Ali aside and explained to him that in the film industry, diplomacy was more important than outspokenness. She said, “Suniel took me aside and told me you can’t do that here. This isn’t Miami and you can’t say out loud what’s on your mind.”

The actress admitted that it was difficult to adapt to industry expectations because she refused to hide her true feelings or pretend to be someone she wasn’t. Over time, she accepted the fact that she didn’t fit in and chose to accept herself. At the age of 40, Somy decided to focus on her peace and self-respect, even if it meant losing relationships. Today, she lives according to her own values ​​and values ​​honesty above all. Reflecting on the impact of her honesty, Somy recalled her first interview with journalist Ashwin Varde. She has made bold and controversial comments about several actors, which she still believes to be true.

Having worked in a few films, Somy Ali is also known for her alleged relationship with Salman Khan back in the day.
