Mumbai, Oct 6 (NationPress) Actress Somy Ali has raised her voice against society's lack of appreciation for poets, highlighting that their genuine worth is frequently ignored while they are alive.

In a recent Instagram post, she shared her thoughts on the disrespect and lack of recognition shown to individuals devoted to the art of language and creativity. Ali pointed out that their significant contributions are often celebrated only posthumously. She uploaded a video of herself and included a heartfelt note stating, “One of the most beautiful Hindi songs ever. I wish I could translate it. It’s about the lack of dignity and respect society displays against poets. It’s only upon their death that their work is cherished, and they never get to learn their worth.”

She further mentioned, “This song speaks of a poet who remains unfazed by society’s acceptance of his artistry, continuing to create. The essence is to pursue what brings you joy rather than seeking approval from those who disregard you or your existence. My childhood idol, Rajesh Khanna (Kaka ji), lip syncs this song performed by the legendary Kishore Kumar. The film is also a must-see. Don’t miss it with subtitles.”

“I was merely seven when I first watched this and cried, thinking the character was truly losing his life. A decade later, I found myself portraying his daughter in a film titled #mafia alongside Mr. Raza Murad. It was a triple treat, as the most beautiful and talented actress in the world, Rekha, was also part of the song. #beautifulsongs #kakajiisthebest #razamurad #namakharam #rekhajikideewani #somyalisfavs #amitji.”

On the professional front, Somy Ali is well-regarded for her roles in hit films like “Anth” (1994), “Yaar Gaddar” (1994), “Andolan” (1995), and “Chupp” (1997).
