Lucky Ali is the blessed son of the most popular comedian of Bollywood yesterday’s Mehboob. Though he has acted in a few movies, both as leading role and supporting role, he is known most for his husky voice in musical pop albums like Suno, Sifar and Meri Jaan Hindusthan.

 

He started his career as a child artist in his father’s movies like Chote Nawab, Kuwara baap, Ginni aur Johny, Ek Baap Chhe Bete and Yeh hai zindagi. But very soon he recognized that his path is something else. He trained himself for ballet-style singing and based on it, released him first album ‘Suno’ in 1997. The song ‘Oh Sanam’ was so fresh that time with a distinct new voice and successively continued as the top song in many music channels for weeks. His first wife Meaghan Jane McCleary was the lady who acted in that song and it contributed a lot in its popularity too. His second album released two years later ‘Sifar’ was a moderate success. After that he released many pop albums including Aks, Kabhi Aisa lagtha hai, ‘Anjaani Raahon Mein’ song of Meri jaan Hindustan released on 50th Independence Day celebration and Gori teri aakhen. Yet none of these songs could repeat the success of Oh Sanam, that helped him to establish him as a versatile pop singer of Indian music industry. But all of these albums were noted. The song ‘Gori tere aakhen’ sung along with Kavitha Krishmurthy was popular during 2000.

 

He has sung for a few movies during 90’s. Yet the songs of Kaho naa pyar hai gave him the first big success. ‘Ek pal ka jeena’ and ‘Kyon chaltha hai’ were huge hits during 2000 and the song ‘Kyon chalthi’ earned him his single Filmfare awards too. His voice was used for Hritik’s second role in the movie. He resumed his acting career after a long time with the movie – Kaante in the year 2002. Same year, the movie Sur was released where he played the leading role as a successful pop singer in search of his predecessor. But as an actor, he could succeed and again he concentrated in music field.
