Bigg Boss is one of the most popular Hindi TV reality shows. The next season of this popular reality show is around the corner. As per media reports, many popular celebs are expected to appear on the show. Recently, rumours went rife that Salman Khan’s former co-star and ex-girlfriend, Somy Ali, has been approached by the makers to participate in Bigg Boss 18. Now, in a recent conversation with IANS, the actress debunked these rumours and called it a strategy to increase the ratings of the show.
Somy Ali has denied the rumours that the makers of the show approached her. Somy Ali said that the filming duration of the show is too long for her to leave her non-profit organisation named No More Tears. The actress called the show scripted while claiming that she had not watched a single episode of Bigg Boss.
“I can’t leave my non-profit organisation to be a part of a show whose filming duration is far too long. I say this with the utmost respect for the show that I have not watched a single episode of it and have no idea what it entails. I have heard it’s scripted and I was going to be a contestant, something I have never conversed about with anyone from the show who works behind the scenes.”
The actress further called it a strategy to increase the ratings of the show. “I have never spoken to anyone from the show. Even if I am called as a contestant, I will not go. To be honest, all these things are a strategy to increase ratings, which networks often do. I have no intention of participating in any scripted reality show.” said Somy Ali.
Somy Ali and Salman Khan reportedly dated for about eight years in the 90s. The two also worked together in the film Buland but it was never released. However, the couple called it quits in 1999. Later, Somy accused Salman of cheating. Somy Ali worked in about 10 films in her short Bollywood career. The actress played the lead role in almost all the films she starred in. The actress was last seen in the film, Chupp in 1997.
