In a very short yet successful journey in B`Town, she featured alongside top Bollywood actors of that time but she called it serendipitous. That`s Somy Ali for you who took Bollywood by a storm when she first landed in Mumbai in 1991 for her crush Salman Khan. However, after a good stint in the entertainment industry, she left India in 1999 and thereafter started her NGO (No More Tears) to rescue women from domestic abuse.
Speaking of her journey in the industry, she said, "I would definitely not call myself a huge Bollywood star, however, my journey was quite serendipitous, to say the least. It is no secret why I landed in Mumbai as a teenager, it is still baffling to me how I ended up doing ten films with the biggest stars given I had absolutely no interest in pursuing an acting career. To sum it up, I was a naïve, gullible, and silly teenager with a ridiculous crush. I trusted and believed anything and everything the last person I hung out with told me to be the truth."
