'I have friendly relations with all my ex-wives': Lucky Ali
Lucky Ali—the voice behind classics like O Sanam—recently shared some honest thoughts about his personal journey.
Now 67, he's been married three times and has five kids.
In a chat with Navbharat Times, he talked about his marriages, what fatherhood means to him, and why he chose to step back from the Bollywood scene.
Ali's approach to co-parenting and ex-marriage dynamics
Ali's first marriage was to Meaghan Jane McCleary (two kids), then Inaya from Persia (two more), and later British model Kate Elizabeth Hallam (one son).
Though separated from all three, he keeps things friendly with his ex-wives and believes in parenting through love and leading by example.
His views on marriage and family background
Growing up in a diverse family—his father Mehmood also remarried outside India—Ali says this background shaped how he sees relationships.
He shared warmly that he has five children from three marriages and is proud of them all.
Why he left the limelight for almost a decade
After hits like Ek Pal Ka Jeena made him a star in the early 2000s, Ali stepped away following his father's passing in 2015.
He felt creatively drained and disconnected, saying he chose peace over fame because of industry monotony and lost friendships.
