 There is something about his eyes... Lucky Ali,
the light-eyed singer, has successfully emerged
from the shadow of his illustrious father - comedian Mehmood with his soulful, mellow music. Born under
the name 'Maqsood Mehmood Ali', Lucky Ali stepped
into music completely by chance. It may sound
unbelievable, but Lucky first used to breed race
horses in the US. Then later on he sold carpets
in his friends' showroom, and even worked in an
oil rig in Pondicherry!
Lucky, born Maqsood Ali Khan, is the second of
Mehmood's eight children. He also happens to be
the nephew of Meena Kumari, one of the great actresses
to grace the Indian screen. Half-Bengali and from
a family that has been in the industry for years,
he did not lack the requisite opportunity to make
his debut as an actor. "
Lucky's second album, Sifar released by Sony music
in 1997 didn't fare as well. Lucky also made it
big as a playback singer with his first foray
into films. 'Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai', his debut
effort, had him singing two numbers for Rakesh
Roshan, the music director... 'Ek Pal Ka
Jeena'
and 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum'. Both his songs did
really well, and 'Na tum jaano na hum' also won
Lucky his first Filmfare award for best male playback
singer.
His other playback hits include songs from Sur,
Yuva among others. |
