Meet actress who once used to shoot 3 films together, was friend of Salman Khan, quit acting after..., she is now…
Her career was brief, merely for five years, but the roles she played remained with the audience. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actress in discussion is no one but Somy Ali.
Born on March 25, 1976, in Karachi, Pakistan, Somy belonged to a family where her mother, Tehmina, is Iraqi, and her father, Madan, is Pakistani. Somy dropped out of school and urged her father to send her to Mumbai to try her luck in Bollywood. At 16, Somy moved to the city of dreams with her dream of becoming an actress. Somy Ali's Brief Career
Somy made her debut with the film Krishan Avtaar in 1993. While Krishan Avtaar is often cited as her debut, she also appeared in the film Anth in the same year. She later starred in films like Yaar Gaddar, Teesra Kaun?, and Andolan. Somy Ali's career in Bollywood was relatively short, as she left the film industry in 1999. Somy Ali's Controversial Affair With Salman Khan
Rather than for her professional life, Somy made headlines for her personal life. The actress was in a relationship with Salman Khan, which later on turned ugly. The duo dated for 8 years. However, after parting ways, Somy revealed some dark sides of her relationship, where she spoke about Salman's one-night stands and how she was physically and verbally abused by the actor.
Somy's statements on Salman made headlines. However, the actor never responded to any of these statements.
After quiting acting Somy is a social activist.

T-Series 'looks forward to collaborating' with Diljit Dosanjh after Border 2; they share 'strong' relationship: Report
Amidst the controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh's casting in Border 2, which follows the backlash he faced over Sardaar Ji 3, rumours emerged that T-Series had decided to sever ties with the actor for future projects. However, the production banner has quashed these speculations, putting the rumours to rest. Earlier this week, Diljit shut down the rumours of getting replaced in Border 2 by sharing a behind-the-scenes video of himself shooting for the film. T-Series sets record straight After Diljit shared a social media post from the Border 2 set, reports emerged suggesting that the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had lifted its ban following a request by producer Bhushan Kumar. Although FWICE permitted the production of Border 2 to move forward, it stressed that its non-cooperation stance with Diljit would persist for upcoming projects. Some reports claimed Bhushan Kumar had assured FWICE that T-Series would part ways with Diljit after Border 2. According to Mumbai Mirror, a source close to the production company has since denied these allegations. 'These reports are completely baseless,' the source told Mumbai Mirror. 'T-Series has always shared a strong and respectful working relationship with Diljit and looks forward to collaborating with him on future projects,' the insider added. More about Diljit and Border 2 Earlier this week, Diljit shut down the rumours of getting replaced in Border 2 by sharing a behind-the-scenes video of himself shooting for the film. According to India Today, FWICE lifted the ban on Diljit for his upcoming film Border 2. The president of the association, BN Tiwari, shared that they took the decision after Bhushan Kumar reached out to them and pleaded personally. It comes after several calls to ban Diljit and his upcoming work after he worked with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. The film opened overseas on June 27. It wasn't released in India. The row comes in the wake of the recent Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, followed by India's Operation Sindoor on May 7, in which air strikes were carried out on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Last Updated: Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, stars Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. They filmed a high-energy song at Pune's National Defence Academy. The much-anticipated war drama Border 2 is steadily building momentum ahead of its 2026 release. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film brings together an ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol, along with Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. Now, a new report confirms that the trio recently shot a high-energy song sequence for the film. Diljit has not been removed from Border 2 amid the controversy surrounding the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his recent movie, Sardaar Ji 3. According to Mid-Day, S came together at the prestigious National Defence Academy (NDA) in Pune to shoot the song. This marks the first time all four leads have appeared together in uniform for a sequence. The song is composed by Anu Malik and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. 'The shoot for the song began on Tuesday [July 1] and was wrapped up on Thursday [July 3]. This is the first time the four lead actors are shooting together in their respective uniforms," a source told the publication. The source further mentioned, 'Considering the NDA is a joint training space for the Army, Navy, and Air Force cadets, the scene fit perfectly. The song will show Ahan, Varun, and Diljit as young cadets before they trained to become officers. Over 200 dancers dressed as cadets joined the stars. Sunny stayed back to complete action scenes." Sunny Deol had earlier shared a photo with the team of Border 2 on his Instagram handle. The caption read, 'Diljit Dosanjh & Ahan Shetty join Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan as the battalion kicks off the 3rd schedule at Pune's National Defence Academy! On-ground, they're joined by Producers Bhushan Kumar & Nidhi Dutta, Director Anurag Singh, Co-producers Shiv Chanana and Binoy Gandhi, as the film moves full throttle!" While the original Border was directed by JP Dutta, the sequel is being helmed by Anurag Singh. The film is slated to hit theatres on January 23, 2026. Diljit Dosanjh was earlier in a controversy involving Sardaar Ji 3 when the film released in Pakistan. FWICE had earlier written a letter to the makers of Border 2, expressing disappointment with the casting of Diljit Dosanjh in the movie. In its letter, addressed to Bhushan Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director, T-Series, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta Producers, JP Films, and director Anurag Singh, FWICE mentioned that it is 'deeply disappointed" with the casting of Diljit Dosanjh in Border 2.

Exclusive: T-Series will continue to collaborate with Diljit Dosanjh after Border 2
Diljit Dosanjh and Bhushan Kumar Speculation around Diljit Dosanjh 's future in Bollywood has been a hot topic of late, even as he continues to work on Border 2. A few days ago, the actor-singer shared a behind-the-scenes video from the film's set, effectively ending rumours about his replacement. However, questions remain about whether producers will continue to back him in future projects. The controversy stems from the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in Diljit's Punjabi film Sardar Ji 3, which released overseas but not in India. In response, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) called for a ban on Dosanjh and his upcoming releases. Following Diljit's social media post from the Border 2 set, several reports claimed that FWICE had lifted the ban after producer Bhushan Kumar requested reconsideration, citing that over 50 per cent of the film had already been completed, and a re-cast would cause major financial losses. While FWICE allowed Border 2 to proceed, it maintained that non-cooperation with the actor would continue for future projects. Some reports went a step further, suggesting that Bhushan Kumar had assured FWICE that T-Series would not work with Diljit after Border 2. However, a source close to T-Series has now refuted these claims. 'These reports are completely baseless,' the source told Mumbai Mirror. 'T-Series has always shared a strong and respectful working relationship with Diljit and looks forward to collaborating with him on future projects. '
