Somy Ali, the former girlfriend of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, has made headlines by inviting incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for a Zoom conversation. Based in the USA, the actor-turned-women’s rights activist shared her invitation through a post on social media, targeting Bishnoi, who is currently serving time at Sabarmati Central Jail.
In her Instagram post, Somy shared a photograph of Bishnoi and addressed him directly. She wrote, “This is a direct message to Lawrence Bishnoi: Namaste, Lawrence bhai. I’ve heard and seen that you conduct Zoom calls from jail, so I would like to discuss a few things with you. Please let me know how this can be arranged. Rajasthan is my favourite place in the world, and I wish to visit your temple for a prayer. However, let’s have our Zoom call first. Trust me, this conversation is for your own good. Please share your mobile number; I would be grateful. Thank you.”

Somy’s message comes amidst heightened tensions surrounding Bishnoi, who has been linked to various criminal activities, including threats against Khan. In her post, she emphasized the importance of seeking justice through legal means, stating, “Taking someone’s life is not acceptable, whether it’s Salman or an average common man. If you want justice, you should move to the court. I have full faith in India’s judicial system and lawyers, just as I do in America.”
She further urged the Bishnoi community to reconsider any violent intentions, stating, “Harming Salman Khan will not bring back the blackbuck. Whatever happened to me cannot be changed; let bygones be bygones.”
Somy Ali’s outreach to Bishnoi has garnered significant media attention, raising questions about the motivations behind her invitation and the implications of such a dialogue. The invite has sparked discussions on the intersection of celebrity culture, crime, and justice in India, particularly concerning the ongoing feud between Khan and the Bishnoi gang.
As the situation develops, both the legal system and public opinion will likely play crucial roles in shaping the narrative surrounding this unexpected invitation and its potential fallout in the realms of Bollywood and beyond.
