17th April 2023, Mumbai: ‘I’d forget which character I was playing’, says actress Somy Ali, recollecting the days when she worked actively in Bollywood. Somy, who now runs a US based NGO called No More Tears and helps victims of rape and domestic violence, has also been part of multiple films in her career.
Talking about a time when she had to balance multiple roles and films, Somy says it wasn’t easy, but was fun for sure. She took to Instagram to share some pictures from her film Yaar Gaddar.
She wrote, “This is why we did three shifts in one day back in the 90’s. We worked on three different movies in each shift and there were times that I was so exhausted, I’d forget which character I was playing.” She adds, “This is again in 1994 with all my favourites. Umesh ji was one of the nicest directors I have worked with and I miss this entire group tons. Yaar Gaddar was a fun experience and it will always remain close to my heart.”
Yaar Gaddar is directed by Umesh Mehra and stars Saif Ali Khan, Mithun Chakraborty and Prem Chopra. The film revolved around two brothers.
