Former Bollywood actress and social activist Somy Ali stirred controversy this week during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, where she made bold claims about the deaths of Bollywood actors Sushant Singh Rajput and Jiah Khan. Ali, who had a high-profile relationship with Bollywood star Salman Khan in the 1990s, suggested that Rajput’s death was not a suicide as concluded by officials but a murder covered up to appear as such. She went on to claim that Bollywood’s powerful figures could be responsible for manipulating such investigations, further fueling long-standing conspiracy theories.
During her AMA session, Ali openly criticized the industry's alleged darker practices, invoking Rajput and Khan’s tragic cases as examples. This has added fuel to ongoing speculations among fans and supporters seeking justice for the actors.
Ali Claims Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death Was Covered Up
In response to a Reddit user’s question regarding her thoughts on the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Ali replied emphatically, claiming that Rajput “was murdered” and suggesting that his autopsy was deliberately altered to resemble a suicide. Ali mentioned Dr. Sudhir Gupta from AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), who led the autopsy report, questioning his role in the findings. She said, “Ask Dr. Sudhir Gupta who changed his autopsy report. Why?”
The claims have sparked debate online, with screenshots of Ali’s responses circulating on social media. These allegations have once again drawn attention to Rajput’s death, which, despite being officially ruled as suicide by AIIMS’ forensic medical board, continues to be questioned by Rajput’s fans and family members who argue there is more to the case.
AIIMS Report and Official Ruling on Sushant Singh Rajput's Death
Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on June 14, 2020, was met with widespread public outcry and suspicion. The Mumbai Police initially investigated it as a suicide, but after intense public demand, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over. The six-member forensic team from AIIMS ultimately ruled out foul play, stating that Rajput’s death was consistent with suicide by hanging. However, conspiracy theories continue to circulate, and Ali’s latest comments have intensified calls for a renewed investigation.
Somy Ali Draws Comparisons to Jiah Khan’s Case
Ali also referenced the 2013 death of actress Jiah Khan, claiming that the incident mirrored Rajput’s death and was similarly handled by Bollywood elites. Ali alleged that Jiah was pregnant at the time and accused Bollywood actor Suraj Pancholi, who was romantically linked with Jiah, of seeking advice from Salman Khan regarding the situation.
"Jiah was pregnant and found hanging from a ceiling fan, after which Suraj Pancholi sought advice from Salman, resulting in Jiah’s death,” Ali asserted. The case had received significant media attention, with Khan’s mother demanding an inquiry into her daughter’s death. While these accusations have yet to be substantiated, Ali’s remarks have brought renewed attention to both cases and the powerful influence Bollywood’s elite are believed to wield.
Somy Ali Reflects on Relationship with Salman Khan
Somy Ali did not limit her comments to Rajput and Khan’s cases but also shared personal grievances from her past relationship with Salman Khan. When questioned by Reddit users about her exit from Bollywood, she cited emotional fatigue from Khan’s alleged repeated infidelities and physical abuse as reasons. Ali stated, “I was tired of Salman's 8-night stands… and I didn’t appreciate being physically and verbally abused daily.”
Ali went on to mention that her attempts to make a comeback in Bollywood were allegedly blocked, hinting that her former boyfriend might be responsible. She expressed that meeting Khan during her teenage years shaped her view of Bollywood but left her feeling disappointed by the reality.
Ali’s decision to leave Bollywood, coupled with her accusations, portrays a narrative of a starlet disillusioned with the industry’s treatment of relationships and abuse behind closed doors.
Revisiting Her Teenage Crush and Bollywood Dreams
Ali admitted that she entered Bollywood not with dreams of becoming an actress but due to a teenage fascination with Khan. Reflecting on those days, she commented, “Meeting your idols in real life is overrated; ‘disappointed’ doesn’t cover it.”
Salman Khan's Ongoing Controversy with Lawrence Bishnoi
Adding to the intense claims, Ali weighed in on Salman Khan's ongoing conflict with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Bishnoi, who allegedly orchestrated threats against Khan, represents a significant safety concern, as the Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck (a sacred animal) central to their beliefs, and they accuse Khan of its poaching.
Despite her criticisms of Khan, Ali condemned any life-threatening action toward him, adding that she believes in non-violence and opposes the death penalty. “Although I don't care for Salman—truthfully, I can’t stand him—I do not wish for his murder. I am a pacifist and a follower of Gandhi,” she said.
In a recent Instagram post, Ali even reached out to Lawrence Bishnoi, expressing her desire for a peaceful discussion and a visit to Bishnoi’s temple in Rajasthan. “Namaste, Lawrence bhai. I’ve heard you’re able to do Zoom calls despite being in jail. I would like to speak with you—let me know if we can arrange something,” she wrote, advocating for peaceful dialogue over violence.
Social Media Reaction and Public Demand for Justice
Ali’s Reddit session quickly went viral, with social media platforms ablaze with opinions from fans, advocates for justice, and Bollywood critics alike. Her assertions have reignited the debate on the treatment of actors within the industry, particularly regarding mental health, power dynamics, and abuse. The “Justice for Sushant” movement remains active among fans who believe the late actor was denied fair treatment within Bollywood.
With renewed interest in these high-profile cases, Ali’s statements highlight broader issues of influence, accountability, and transparency within Bollywood. Many supporters of the movement are calling for further investigation into the deaths of Sushant Singh Rajput and Jiah Khan, advocating for an industry where mental health and fair treatment are prioritized.
