Lucky Ali's family

Lucky Ali is the second child, out of the seven children, of the late legend Mehmood Ali and first wife Mahliqa. His father is deemed as 'India's national comedian', because of his iconic comic roles in films like Padosan, Humjoli, Bombay To Goa, and Lakhon Me Ek to name a few. While Lucky's father was Muslim, his mother Mahliqa, aka Madhu, was part Pashtun and part Bengali. A lot of people are unaware of the fact that she is the sister of Bollywood's 'Tragedy Queen', Meena Kumari. 

For the unversed, Lucky Ali has three siblings named Masood Ali aka Pucky Ali, Maqdoom Ali aka Macky Ali and Masoom Ali. Furthermore, Lucky also has three step-siblings, brothers Mansoor Ali and Manzoor Ali and sister Jeanie from Mehmood's second wife Tracy Ali. A lot of people also don't know that the veteran actor Minoo Mumtaz is the 62-year-old's paternal aunt. Lucky's tempestuous relationship with his father Mehmood has not been a secret from the world. His tryst with marijuana led his father to write the script of the 1996 film Dushman Duniya Ka, starring his younger brother Manzoor Ali.
