Somy Ali Calls for More Respect and Appreciation for Poets

In a recent Instagram post, actress Somy Ali has expressed her concern over society's lack of respect and appreciation for poets. According to Ali, the true worth of poets is often acknowledged only after their passing, with their contributions and dedication to words and expression going unrecognized during their lifetime.

Ali reflected on a Hindi song that she found particularly meaningful, noting that it conveys a message about a poet who doesn't seek validation from those who don't appreciate his work. Instead, the poet focuses on finding self-happiness and continuing his craft. Ali shared her own nostalgic memories of watching the song as a child, when she was moved to tears, thinking the poet was losing his life.

Years later, Ali had the opportunity to play the role of the poet's daughter in a film called "Mafia," which she described as a "triple treat" as it also featured the legendary actress Rekha. Through this personal connection, Ali has gained a deeper appreciation for the plight of poets and the need for greater societal recognition of their invaluable contributions.
