'I was misguided': Actress Somy Ali on refusing to work with Suniel Shetty in the 90s

Actress Somy Ali has candidly discussed a past incident where she turned down an opportunity to work with Suniel Shetty, labelling him as a struggling actor. She clarified that these words didn't originate from her point of view and were the result of misguided advice she had received.

Somy, who had been romantically linked with Salman Khan previously, acknowledged that with hindsight, she recognised her error and took the initiative to apologise to Suniel after a span of 22 years.

In an interview with a media outlet, Somy was quoted as saying, “When I came to Bombay, I was living at a hotel without my parents and siblings. I was 17-year-old and was living all by myself. So the people guiding me were very wrong. Whatever they told me to say, I used to go ahead and say it. So because of this, there was a misunderstanding.”
