Somy Ali, known for her candid personality and fearless opinions, recently shared a story about how Suniel Shetty gave her some important advice during her early days in Bollywood. This advice came after she made blunt comments about a film’s rushes, which caused some tension with the director.
Somy Ali Receives Advice from Suniel Shetty
In a recent interview, Somy Ali recalled a private screening of a film at Sanjay Dutt’s house, where she was shown some clips of a movie. Without hesitation, Somy criticized the movie, calling it “the worst film” she had ever seen. Her comments left the director visibly shocked, and Somy later found herself being pulled aside by Suniel Shetty.

Suniel, a veteran actor in the industry, explained to Somy that in Bollywood, it’s important to be diplomatic. He advised her that speaking her mind too openly could hurt her career, saying, “You can’t do that here. This isn’t Miami, and you can’t speak what’s in your head out loud.”
Somy admitted that she struggled with this idea at first. She had always been someone who spoke her mind without sugarcoating anything. But over time, she began to understand the importance of maintaining a balance between honesty and tact in the film industry.
By the time she turned 40, Somy decided to prioritize her peace and self-respect. She made a choice to stop pretending to be someone she wasn’t, and today, she unapologetically lives by her own principles. Somy’s refusal to conform to the industry’s expectations has often led to controversy, but she stands by her beliefs.
Looking back, Somy also recalled some of the bold statements she made in her early interviews, which stirred up a lot of discussions. She admitted that in her first interview, she said some controversial things about fellow actors. Although she later apologized for some of those comments, she continues to value her honest nature, even if it causes discomfort.
Somy also shared her memories of her close bond with actress Divya Bharti, who, like her, didn’t care about societal expectations. The two actresses had a special connection, often laughing at the idea of trying to fit into the “mold” Bollywood set for them. Somy now continues her journey of authenticity, both in her career and in her life, running a successful NGO called No More Tears, which helps those in need.
