Lucky Ali, the soulful voice behind classic romantic hits like O Sanam and Kyon Chalti Hai Pawan, continues to captivate hearts across generations. While his music keeps him in the limelight, the 66-year-old himself prefers a life away from the glitz and glam of showbiz. At the 18th Kathakar International Storyteller Festival, which took place at Delhi’s Sunder Nursery on February 1, the singer offered a rare glimpse into his personal life. At the event, he hinted at the possibility of his fourth marriage.
At Kathakar 2025, Ali entertained the audience by performing some of his iconic songs and sharing some fascinating anecdotes about his personal life. During the discussion, when someone asked about his next aspiration, the 66-year-old singer promptly replied, “Dream hai ki main shaadi karunga phir se (My dream is to get married again)!” This revelation left many wondering whether Ali’s fourth marriage was on the cards.
Lucky Ali’s personal life is as fascinating as his journey in the music industry. If reports are to be believed, the singer got married to an Australian woman, Meghan Jane McCleary, in 1996. The two met during the making of Ali’s album Sunoh. They had two children, Ta’awwuz and Tasmiyah. A few years later, the couple called it quits.
In 2000, the Ek Pal Ka Jeena singer married Anahita, a Persian woman who converted to Islam upon marriage and adopted the name Inaya. The couple has two children together, Ryan and Sara. Ali’s second marriage, too, ended in divorce soon after.
The singer’s third marriage was to former Miss England Kate Elizabeth Hallam, who was also an actress, presenter and bass guitarist. They had met during the shoot of a movie and eventually fell in love. The pair opted for a court marriage in 2010. The two, who had an age gap of 25 years, are parents to a son, Dani. The couple decided to part ways in 2017.
In an earlier interview with TOI, the 66-year-old singer candidly spoke about his problems with the institution of marriage, revealing that his former wives knew about his views quite well. He said, “Some are suited for one marriage. I don’t think I am suited for one marriage. I move around a lot. I am a free spirit. I get lonely. I cannot cheat. What happens when you are faced with temptations? It’s better to marry. Be honest to your wife and love your wives.”
