Somy Ali, actress and former girlfriend of superstar Salman Khan, says she was sexually abused and raped as a minor. 

In an empowering Instagram note to the victims, Somy on Monday wrote: "As a survivor of sexual abuse at the age of five and rape at 14, I would like to salute all those that have spoken up and plan on doing so. I know it is very difficult to do it because I have been there and it took me many years to be able to talk about it."
