"I learned a lot from his parents and household. I also learned from Salman. Ultimately, in any relationship, if you are not happy, it's better to part ways. That was the case of the relationship between Salman and me. I decided to go back to America."
Talking about Salman's parents and what she had learnt from them, Somy Ali further added to that conversation:
"What I learned from his parents is so phenomenal. They had an open house. Every day people would come and go. They would be loving and feed them. The door was never locked. Another pivotal lesson I learned is that we are all the same. They did not differentiate in religion at all. They never saw any difference in religion. It is very important to learn from them."

In the same interview, Somy Ali recalled how they got into a relationship. Apparently, she was 16 years old and had fallen head over heels for the actor after watching his film, Maine Pyaar Kiya. When she had expressed her love to him, he had told her that he was already in a relationship. But a year later, they had started dating. Somy Ali said:
"We used to watch Hindi films. I saw Maine Pyaar Kiya, and I had developed a crush on Salman. I had a dream that night, and I decided to go to India. When I was 16, it was ridiculous for me to think that I could go to Mumbai and marry him. I dreamt of marriage and thought it was a prediction from God. I started looking for a suitcase. I told mom that I'm going to Mumbai to get married to Salman Khan!"
Somy Ali had even shot a film with Salman Khan that never got released. But during that time, she had expressed her love for him. In her words:
"We were heading to Nepal. I was sitting next to him. I just removed his photo showing it to him. I told him, 'I have come all the way to marry you!' He said, 'I have a girlfriend.' I said that doesn't matter. I was a teenager. Our relationship started after a year when I turned 17. He did tell me first, 'I love you.' It didn't take a lot of convincing."
On the professional front, Somy Ali had worked in films like Krishan Avtaar with Mithun Chakraborty, Yaar Gaddar with Saif Ali Khan and Anth with Suniel Shetty.
