“I have no qualms in saying that given his (Salman’s) treatment of me I chose to have affairs which essentially defined as a search for someone who would care for me and love me. Someone who would not insult me and would actually be nice to me. Unfortunately, I was unaware that these men were simply using me and I was building a future with each affair while I was simply being used,” she wrote.
“When Salman learned of these affairs he had the guts to after beating me saying that I am a man and only men can cheat not women. I was aghast at that statement and the sexism that reeked from it,” Somy Ali added.

Not a day went by that he wouldn’t make me feel worthless and small,” she wrote.
“He would not acknowledge me as his girlfriend in public for years and when he finally did he would insult me in front of his friends and berate me nonstop,” she added.In addition to the post, Somy also shared a video on Instagram where she alleged that the ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ actor had banned her show ‘Fight of Flight’ on Discovery Plus.
