Salman Khan’s ex Somy Ali invites Lawrence Bishnoi for Zoom call: ‘Kuch baatein karni hain’

Somy Ali, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's ex-girlfriend, unexpectedly reached out to Lawrence Bishnoi on Thursday, inviting the gangster to a Zoom call. Bishnoi is allegedly involved in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and had openly warned “everyone who helps Salman Khan."

Actor-turned-women's rights activist Somy broke up with Salman in 1999 and relocated from Mumbai to the US, where she has lived ever since. While she has spoken about having a troubled relationship with the actor, she has also defended him on multiple occasions.

She took to Instagram to engage with Lawrence Bishnoi, currently lodged at Sabarmati Central Jail. In her social media post, Somy wrote a “direct message to Lawrence Bishnoi” and addressed him as “bhai” while inviting him to a Zoom call.

“Namaste, Lawrence bhai, suna bhi hai aur dekha bhi ke aap jail se bhi Zoom calls kar rahe ho, toh mujhe aapse kuch baatain karne hain. Kripya karke mujhe bataye ke yeh kaise ho sakta hai? (Greetings, Lawrence brother. I've heard and seen that you do Zoom calls, even from jail. So I want to discuss a few things with you. Please tell me how that can be done?)” she wrote.

Referring to Rajasthan as her most favourite place in the world, Somy said she wants to visit Bishnoi's temple for a prayer, but “pehle aapse Zoom call ho jaye, aur kuch baatain teh ho jaye (let's get done with the Zoom call first)”.

She also claimed that the chat was for his own good and requested the gangster to share his number with her.

This isn't the first time Somy has requested the Bishnoi community to “forget and move on” from Salman Khan's 1998 incident.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Somy had said, “If you're attempting to kill someone or firing bullets on him, then you're crossing the line. I don't support hunting as a sport, but this event took place so many years ago.”

She further said, "Salman was much younger in 1998. I want to request the head of the Bishnoi tribe to forget about it and move on. I apologise on his behalf if he has made a mistake, and please forgive him.”
