Somy Ali recalls working with Saif Ali Khan and his great sense of humour

Pakistani-American actress Somy Ali, who is known for her work in such notable Bollywood films as Andolan, Mafia, and Chup, recently took to her Instagram handle to share a few pictures with Saif Ali Khan and veteran actor Prem Chopra from the sets of their 1994 film Aao Pyaar Karen as it clocks 29 years of release.

The first picture is a collage of two monochrome photos of Saif and Somy, the other is yet another photo of the actors holding a bouquet, and the last picture is of Somy with veteran actor Prem.


Somy captioned the post, “Can’t believe this was 29 years ago!!! Time sure does fly! Best time ever working with Prem ji and playing with his daughter, who ironically is one of the nicest people I ever encountered in the industry."

Elaborating further, she added, "Saif always had our stomach in knots with his nonstop wit which was nothing short of a real-life stand-up comic and kept the mood on the set perpetually fun/funny." The actress also added the hashtags--good times, good people, Aao Pyar Karen, Saif Ali Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Prem Chopra, Kulu Manali, so fun, cherish every moment, kal ho naa ho, Somy Ali, and live your best life.

As soon as she shared the pictures, her fans showered love in the comment section. While one of her fans wrote, ‘Girl, you don’t age!’, another one added, 'What a wonderful throwback picture.’

Aao Pyaar Karen starred Saif Ali Khan, Somy Ali, and Shilpa Shetty in pivotal roles. Rakesh Bedi, Prem Chopra, Gulshan Grover, Mukesh Khanna, and Himani Shivpuri were also part of the film. It was a remake of the 1992 Tamil film Chembaruthi.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
