In a candid revelation, actor Somy Ali peeled back the layers of an old story that had remained buried for decades. She shared her experience of declining to work with Suniel Shetty, a decision that was fueled by misguided advice from those around her. Speaking openly, Somy explained that the words weren`t her own, but rather a result of the misguided guidance she received during a crucial time in her life. Somy, who was previously in a relationship with Salman Khan, acknowledged the complexity of her journey, revealing that it took her more than two decades to recognize her mistake and extend an apology to Suniel Shetty.
In a heartfelt conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Somy reflected on her early days in Bombay, a city where she arrived as a 17-year-old, brimming with aspirations. Without the presence of her parents or siblings, she found herself heavily reliant on the advice and direction provided by those around her. "The people guiding me were very wrong," Somy admitted, recognizing how their influence had led her down a path that wasn`t truly her own. She candidly shared that she would parrot whatever she was told, a reality that ultimately contributed to a misunderstanding in her professional decisions.
