Bigg Boss 18: After the conclusion of 'Bigg Boss OTT 3', all eyes are now on the 18th season of 'Bigg Boss', which will start on Colors channel in October. Known for the controversial content of the show, many names are in the headlines to participate in this season, including the name of Salman Khan's ex-girlfriend Somi Ali. However, Somi Ali has denied the rumors about this, and said that she has no intention of participating in the show.

Somi told IANS that it is impossible for her to join a reality show with a long duration and she also objected to the scripted nature of the show. She termed it as a strategy to increase the ratings of the show and said that she does not know much about the show.

After being in a relationship with Salman Khan for 6-7 years in Pakistan, Somi did 10 Hindi films in her career, none of which were successful at the box office.

The list of potential contestants of 'Bigg Boss 18' includes names like Karan Patel, Sameera Reddy, Surabhi Jyoti, Pooja Sharma. Also, 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' contestants Shivani Kumari, Vishal Pandey, and Adnan Sheikh are also likely to be included in this season. There are rumors that Abdu Rozik can also host a special segment with Salman Khan this season.

Somi said this about Bigg Boss

Somi Ali further said, "I have heard that this entire show is scripted. I would like to be a part of a show that is not scripted. So even if they call me for this, I would not like to participate in it. I think these rumors are a strategy to increase the ratings of the show, which networks often do. I have no intention of participating in any scripted reality show."

Somi said, "I was asked to pretend to be in a relationship with an actor. This was asked to do before the release of the film in the 90s, so it is not surprising for me at all."

Salman-Somi's relationship lasted 6-7 years

Salman and Somi Ali have dated each other once upon a time. It is said that the relationship of both lasted for 6-7 years. However, after the entry of Aishwarya Rai in Salman's life, both of them separated. Somi Ali has worked in about 10 films in her short Hindi film career. She was seen in the lead role in all these films, but none of these films could do much wonders at the box office.
