- Former girlfriend Somy Ali argues that Khan was unaware of the Bishnoi tribe's blackbuck deer worship.
- Ali argues that Khan's reputation as a big superstar has led to his involvement in the case.
- Somy Ali plans to apologize to the Bishnoi community on Salman's behalf.
In a new interview, Somy Ali discussed the details of Salman Khan's 1998 blackbuck case. She argued that it is illogical to label him as the culprit since he was unaware that the Bishnoi tribe worships blackbuck deer.
"Jab Salman ko khabar nahin thi toh unko koi gunehgaar karaar diya ja raha hai, ye mujhe samajh nahin arha hai. Ismein koi logic hi nahin hai. (Salman had no idea about it then why he is being named as a culprit? I don't get it. It has no logic)," Somy Ali said.
Somy Ali continued by stating that the case targets Salman because he is a big superstar. Recalling her dating days with the actor, she shared that she did not accompany him during the alleged hunting in Jodhpur. The former actress explained that Salman didn't take her with him that day because the animals would run away if she started coughing. Somy claimed that she does not like hunting as a sport.
Somy recounted that when Salman returned from the shoot, he told her he wasn’t aware that the blackbuck was worshiped in that area. When discussing whether Salman should apologize, Somy stated that it "makes no sense" since he didn’t know about the Bishnoi community's sentiments regarding the blackbuck deer. The former actress expressed that she would apologize to the Bishnoi community on Salman's behalf.
Somy Ali dated her Andolan co-star Salman Khan for eight years, from 1991 to 1999. After their breakup, she returned to the US to pursue her studies. During the shoot of "Hum Saath Saath Hain" in the 90s, Salman became the main accused in the hunting of blackbucks.
