The relationship between Bollywood star Salman Khan and actress Sangeeta Bijlani has long been the subject of fascination and speculation. Their romance, which blossomed in the 1990s, was one marked by deep affection and grand plans for the future, culminating in an engagement in 1994. As wedding preparations progressed and invitations were printed, the couple seemed poised to embark on a lifelong journey together. However, mere hours before the ceremony was set to commence, unforeseen events unfolded, leading to the abrupt dissolution of their relationship.
In a candid interview, actress Somy Ali, who was romantically linked with Salman during the same decade, shed light on the circumstances surrounding the breakup. According to Somy, Sangeeta ultimately ended her relationship with Salman after discovering him in a compromising position with her. “The wedding invitations had already been printed. But Sangeeta caught Salman in my apartment red-handed. Salman was with me. What happened between Salman and Sangeeta also happened to me. This is what you call karma. I understood this better as I became more mature,” Somy revealed, highlighting the complex emotional landscape that accompanied their entangled lives.
Somy Ali's Continued Support for Salman Khan
In recent developments, Somy Ali has emerged as a vocal supporter of Salman Khan amid threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which alleges that Salman was involved in the illegal killing of a blackbuck, an animal considered sacred by the Bishnoi community. This situation has escalated alarmingly, with reports suggesting that the gang has plotted a shooting outside Salman’s residence, intensifying the scrutiny surrounding him.
In an interview , Somy addressed the situation, acknowledging that Salman did indeed kill a blackbuck and that he had confided in her about the incident. However, she emphasized that at the time, Salman was unaware of the animal's significance to the Bishnoi community. “He did not act with any ill intent,” she affirmed, defending Salman’s character in light of the allegations. Furthermore, Somy expressed a desire to visit the Bishnoi temple to seek forgiveness on Salman's behalf and articulated her wish to meet Lawrence Bishnoi while he is incarcerated.
