Somy Ali reflects on purpose, healing, and inner peace, saying true fulfilment comes from impact, not fame.
Drawing from her own journey of survival and service, she emphasizes health, boundaries, and action as essential pillars of a meaningful life.
Actor-turned-humanitarian Somy Ali believes that lasting peace and happiness come from fulfilment in life’s most essential areas — purpose, health, family, and inner healing. After rescuing and helping rebuild the lives of over 50,000 survivors through her NGO No More Tears, Somy says the greatest sense of satisfaction in her life comes from purpose and impact, not public recognition.
Somy Ali says, “My life has meaning because I’ve been able to help so many survivors. That kind of peace cannot be matched by any material success, name, or fame.” While she feels deeply fulfilled by her work, Somy shares that health and family remain ongoing journeys. She says, “Sustained emotional and physical healing becomes necessary when one has endured long-term trauma. Family wounds from childhood and later betrayals take time to heal. I am learning to set boundaries, forgive where I can, and create a chosen family. These are ongoing processes, but I am committed to healing.”
Reflecting on unpredictability and procrastination, Somy Ali admits she once delayed her own happiness. She shares, “I kept waiting to fix myself first or for the perfect moment to speak my truth. I realised that was fear in disguise. The present is the only place where real change happens. Peace isn’t a future destination; it’s a daily choice.”
Having survived abuse, professional blacklisting, and multiple restarts in life, Somy Ali says she learned that progress comes through action. She says, “The day I decided my voice mattered more than my fear, I stopped procrastinating. Now I tell survivors: don’t wait to feel ready. Start scared. Start messy. Start today.”
For Somy, health is non-negotiable. Somy Ali shares, “We glorify hustle, but hustle without health is slow suicide. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Mental health is the foundation — therapy, meditation, rest, boundaries, and honest conversations with safe people are essential. No career or mission is worth losing yourself.”
