Former Bollywood actress Somy Ali has come forward with allegations of emotional and physical abuse during her relationship with superstar Salman Khan, which spanned most of the 1990s.
On January 1, 2024, a viral clip on X featured Somy sharing rare and troubling details about her nearly decade-long relationship with the actor in an interview with IANS.
The Andolan actress claimed that Salman had sent a housemaid, Najma, to spy on her at her own house. According to Somy, Najma was instructed to monitor all her interactions and daily activities. Recounting the distressing experience, Ali shared,
“Hamari jo kaam wali thi… she told me that Salman had sent her to live with me, to keep an eye on me to [see] who I speak with, in terms of male co-actors, who comes over to the apartment, what do I do whole day… And I was like you were sent to my apartment as a spy”.
Later in the video, Somy opened up about a harrowing incident of alleged physical violence she endured at the hands of the Tiger star, which left her injured. She recounted how Najma intervened during the assault to protect her, recalling,
“At one point, Salman was so physically abusive that Najma… who must have been 45 years old at the time, she banged on the door and she said – ‘bhai aap mujhko maro, is bachi ko chod do’… My entire neck was black and blue. He was hand slapping me on my neck”.
