Somy Ali reminisces her time in Bollywood: We did three shifts in a day
Actress Somy Ali, who enjoyed a successful stint in
Bollywood during the 90s and now runs a US-based NGO No More Tears, took
to social media to talk about her time in the movies.
Sharing a video from one of her favourite films, Mafia, she wrote,
“Movie: Mafia. 1996, but in the 90’s we did three shifts in one day.
Hence, I worked on three movies in a single day. I would wake up at 4am
to get ready and finish at 10pm.”
She also mentions her friends from the industry who she loved working
with.
She added. “I will never forget this movie because it was with the
three nicest people in the world. @aapkadharam (Dharmendra)
@razamurad1950 (Raza Murad) and Jay Mehta who was launched by his
father, Mr. Pranlal Mehta. Jay was extraordinary for his first movie and
perhaps the most decent human being I have ever worked with. I will
always miss these good times and precious moments. Love and best wishes
for all of you. Miss, Dharam ji, Raza bhai and Jay tons.”
Somy appeared in several Bollywood films in the 1990s, such as Anth,
Yaar Gaddar, and Aao Pyaar Karen. Though her film career was brief, she
gained attention for her on-screen presence and off-screen headlines.
