Controversies • In January 2015, Lucky Ali accused a builder named H Yeshwanth Shenoy of grabbing 165 acres of his family land situated in various survey numbers in villages of Yelahanka Hobli. However, his siblings refuted their brother's claim stating that the property had been sold years ago.

In the aftermath of the aforesaid disputed property case, 8 contract killers who were plotting to kill the veteran singer were arrested from his farmhouse. The accused were reportedly waiting for Ali to step out of his farmhouse so that they could beat him down with rods and machetes.

• According to a reputed entertainment portal, Lucky Ali was supposed to lend his voice to a song in Salman Khan starrer Sultan (2016). However, the singer was not happy with the choice of lyrics that were given to him. The lyricist and the music composer though did not pay much heed to what Ali was saying. As a result, an angry Ali walked out of the studio, vowing not to work with the same people again.

Some Lesser Known Facts About Lucky Ali

  • Does Lucky Ali smoke: Yes (used to be a marijuana addict)

  • Does Lucky Ali drink alcohol: Yes

  • The second of 8 siblings, Lucky Ali (born Maqsood Mahmood Ali) is the son of late comic actor, Mehmood, and Madhu Ali, sister of late actress Meena Kumari.

  • It is believed that Ali’s love for marijuana led his father to write the script of the film Dushman Duniya Ka. Interestingly, the protagonist of the movie, “Lucky”, a drug addict, was played by Ali’s youngest brother, Manzoor. At the end of the movie, the lead kills his mother, destroys everything around him and is then killed by his father. Perhaps, this was his father’s way of teaching him the harmful effects of drug abuse.

  • Like many other stars today, Ali also did a number of odd jobs before establishing himself as a singer (and a part-time actor). From breeding horses to selling carpets, Ali has had his fair share of struggles. In addition, he had even worked on an oil rig off the coast of Puducherry.

  • It was not before the year 1996 that he came into the public eye. The song “O Sanam” from his debut album, “Sunoh”, became so popular that it stayed in the top 3 positions of the MTV Asia Charts for as many as 60 weeks.

  • Interestingly, Ali has never undergone any formal training in music.

  • As a child, he had appeared in a number of Hindi films from 1965-1975.

  • His song “Na Tum Jaano Na Hum” from Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai fetched him the 2001 Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer.

  • He was also featured in a number of TV sitcoms in the late 80’s viz. Bharat Ek Khoj (1988), Katha Sagar (1986), The Dewarists, etc. 

  • Ali is an avid farmer; he even promotes and spreads awareness on various methods of organic farming.

  • On 4 December 2022, he shared a post on Facebook in which he alleged that a Bengaluru-based “land mafia” was encroaching on his farm in Karnataka, and the mafia and his men were “forcibly and illegally” entering his property, located in  Kenchenahalli, Yelahanka. In the post, he shared the text of his complaint letter to the Karnataka police chief. According to the musician, his family had been in possession of the land for the past 50 years. In his complaint, Mr Ali named Sudhir Reddy as the main accused and said that Sudhir, with the help of his wife Rohini Sindhuri, who is an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer, was trying to encroach on his property illegally. In his post, Mr Ali also mentioned that he was not getting any help from the local police. check sources NDTV
