In her latest interview, Somy said that she hasn’t spoken to Salman in five years and that they both have “moved on.” She told Zoom TV, “It’s been 20 years since I broke up with him. He cheated on me and I broke up with him and left. It’s as simple as that.”
Speaking further in the interview, she said, “I learned a lot of good things from his (Salman’s) parents. The biggest thing I learned is that they never saw religion (coming in the way of relationships and humanity) and treated every human being equally. Their home was open to everyone and love permeated throughout their house, especially from Salma aunty.”
