Former Bollywood actress and social activist Somy Ali has reportedly been approached to join the cast of the upcoming Bigg Boss 18 season. This news has generated considerable excitement among fans and media, largely due to her previous relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
In the 1990s, Somy Ali and Salman Khan’s relationship was widely discussed. The couple reportedly dated for approximately eight years before breaking up in 1999. Their relationship was marked by numerous rumors and speculations about their time together.
During their relationship, the pair collaborated on the film *Buland*, which was never released. After their split, Somy accused Salman of cheating, a claim that further fueled media scrutiny.
The potential of Somy Ali joining Bigg Boss 18 was first reported by News18. An Instagram post went viral, suggesting that the show’s producers had approached Somy for the new season.
Although there has been no official confirmation of her participation, the speculation has certainly captured the interest of fans and the public. Given Somy’s history with Salman Khan, who also hosts Bigg Boss, her inclusion could add an intriguing new element to the show’s dramatic format.
Somy Ali has been open about her past relationship with Salman Khan. In 2021, she reflected on their breakup, saying, “I mentioned it 20 years ago; confronting him seemed pointless as the relationship was over regardless of any infidelity.” She also noted that staying in the relationship or confronting Salman wasn’t mentally feasible for her.
In July of this year, Somy used her Instagram to post a cryptic message about an alleged abuser, claiming lack of support during her ‘MeToo’ story due to the abuser’s celebrity status. She shared that despite potential criticism and personal attacks, she continued to speak out about her experiences.
Somy’s Bollywood career in the ’90s included films like *Krishan Avatar*, *Anth*, *Andolan*, and *Mafia*. She has mentioned in interviews that her primary motivation for entering the film industry was her desire to be with Salman Khan, inspired by his movie *Maine Pyar Kiya*. Despite her dreams of marrying him, their relationship ended, leading Somy to leave Bollywood.
Should Somy Ali join Bigg Boss, her presence is likely to be a major talking point of the season. Her participation could bring past issues to light, offering a compelling viewing experience and a chance for Somy to present her side of the story to a broader audience.
