Somy Ali reveals the reason for leaving the Bollywood industry:
Somy says that she has a lot of good memories of becoming an actor. “I remember, as an actor, I used to get to travel so much. I loved that. Also, I loved working with my co-actors Suniel, Mithunda, and Om Puri. There were a few people who stood by me when I was involved in a bad relationship. I have bittersweet memories of my time as an actor in India,” she says.
She adds, “I would also like to mention Salman’s mom here. She was so amazing to me. I don’t remember any great encounters with anyone else. I don’t think it was their fault either. As I was also very confused about what I was doing. I was so young and gullible. I also made a lot of mistakes. But I learned a lot from their mistakes as well. I think what I am today is thanks to the experiences that I have gone through.”
However, she feels that it was the best decision on her part to walk away from that career. “I think it was the best thing that I have done in my entire life. I was suffering, and I knew that if I continued, it would affect my emotional wellbeing and health,” she says.
