This is how Salman Khan's ex Sangeeta Bijlani reacted when Somy Ali apologized to her for breaking her affair

The only time Salman Khan came close to marrying a woman was when his nuptials were fixed with Sangeeta Bijlani on May 27,1994. The two had been together as a couple for six years. But the wedding was called off a month before the given date as Salman Khan cheated on her with his new flame Somy Ali. The actress who was a starlet had come down from abroad to work in movies as she was crazy about Salman Khan. She was just 16. Somy Ali who has given an in-depth interview to Zoom said that years later she apologized to Sangeeta Bijlani who said she did not care about it. At that time, the Tridev actress was wedded to former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin. A month after this interaction, Sangeeta and the cricket star ended their marriage. 

Somy Ali said she apologized to Sangeeta Bijlani who told her that it did not matter. She said she was just 16 and did not realize that she was doing a very wrong thing by breaking off their relationship. Somy told her that her apology came from the bottom of her heart. 

I knew that what the 16-year-old Somy Ali did was wrong. She broke up a marriage. I wanted to take the higher road and apologise to Sangeeta

- Somy Ali’s quote on apology to Sangeeta Bijlani

It was Salman Khan’s cheating that ended his affair with Sangeeta Bijlani. Somy Ali who had signed on some Bollywood movies was staying in Vindhyachal society. It seems Salman Khan would climb pipes to get into her house without attracting attention of others. One day, he was with Somy Ali in her room when Sangeeta Bijlani came and confronted him. The superstar told Somy to wait for 10 minutes as he went out with Sangeeta Bijlani. Somy thought their love story was over. But it was Sangeeta and Salman’s long-standing relationship that saw its end. 

Sangeeta Bijlani then fell for Mohammad Azharuddin. It was a clandestine and passionate affair. He was a married man with two sons. In 1996, Naureen and Azhar got divorced and he tied the knot with Sangeeta. The marriage lasted for 14 long years. It seems Azhar’s proximity to Jwala Gutta led to friction in their married life.
