Somy Ali, a one-time girlfriend of Salman Khan, has accused the Bollywood superstar of burning her with cigarettes among other alleged instances of physical abuse.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Pakistani-American actor Somy alleged Salman had subjected her to cigarette burns, carnal intercourse over years. Terming the Bollywood superstar “a male chauvinistic pig” Somy also attacked women who supported the star despite him having “beaten several women”. Somy went on to term him the “Harvey Weinstein” of Bollywood who will stand exposed one day. This, she said, would happen in former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s footsteps.
“More to come! Ban my show in India then threaten me with a lawsuit, you coward piece of shit. Screw your lawyer! I have 50 lawyers here to protect me from the cigarette burns, the physical abuse and the sodomy which you put me through and it lasted for years… So go f*ckkkk yourself. You male chauvinistic pig. And shame on all the female actors who support this guy who has beaten several women. The Harvey Weinstein of Bollywood! You will be exposed. The women you abused wil (sic) come out one day and share their truth. Just like @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb,” according to Bollywood entertainment portal Koimoi.
She deleted the post after.
Salman and Aishwarya too were in a torrid relationship which ended with the Devdas actor publicly accusing him of abuse. “The Salman chapter was a nightmare in my life and I am thankful to God that it is over,” she had said in a 2002 statement.
