Millennials would agree that all of us have swooned over his songs. His deep nasal voice permeates your soul and soothes it like none other. Way back in the 90’s, he got popular with ‘O Sanam’ from his first album Sunoh (1996). We know you are humming ‘O sanam mohabbat ki kasam’ now and visualising him standing on that pyramid wearing that white keffiyeh (Palestinian scarf) looking at you with those piercing eyes. That is the magic called Lucky Ali.

Although he is very selective about choosing his playback songs in Bollywood movies, as he never wanted to get typecasted as one. In fact, this exclusivity is what has made his fans fall in love with him and yearn for his songs even more.
