Hello!!

Hi Lucky Ali! What a great way to chat with you.

Lucky, Welcome to the Rediff Chat. All the very best for the Channel [V] awards.

Hey y'all! Where's Lucky???

Hi . I'm here so feel free to ask me whatever you want.

Love the tunes of your songs....who writes the music?

Dilrooba: Me.

Lucky, I LOVE your music. As a matter of fact, I've even set my stereo to wake me up to o sanam every morning...

Lucky, are you religious?

Does being a staunch Muslim get in the way of your music? Doesn't Islam frown on such nashaaa?

I loved the video of o sanam. What's next in the pipeline.

Hi Lucky! You tell me why you were named lucky and I will tell you why I was named unlucky

Hobbes: I believe religion is the doing of anything that is contrary to the will of the creator, for me I understand faith. Does that answer your question?:-)

Why aren't you saying anything, Lucky? You said to feel free to ask all these questions and then you just shut up...

Unlucky Fatima: My father named me Lucky because when I was born he became quite popular at the box office and he translated my birth with his success.

Hobbes: Thanks. We may shoot either Sunoh or Pyaar Ka Musafir . But I'm unable to say when .

What did Papa say about the success of Sunoh?

Lucky.. why have you named the album Sunoh?

hi ali how are you doing today?

hmmm... very cryptic... so let me see if I have this straight. You believe in God, but you think that organized religion isn't worth much...

Dilrooba: For me music is not a Nasha rather a gift given to me by my creator , the Ulema are divided on this issue and although there were quite a few Fatwas for and against I decided I didn't want to be confused and I do music in order to generate a feeling of communication freindship , peace etc etc.

How long have you been trying to break into the music scene?

hey ali what is next after sunoh?

Hey Lucky, who has written the lyrics of Sunoh, my boyfriend is completely nuts about this song, he seems to be humming it all the time, which I must admit bugs me no end..

Hi Handel, dads very proud of me.

Hobbes: FOR ANYTHING TO WORK RIGHT THERE NEEDS TO BE A design a form and it should be very much in harmony with the rythmn of life , I have found my peace in following what I follow .

You know, reading that wonderful article about you on the Net made your music even more meaningful. Its nice that you've finally settled down to doing what you seem to really love after being a farm boy (like me) and a carpet cleaner.

Niharika: The lyrics of Sunoh are written by Aslam based on my feelings my aspirations and hopes.

Lavanya: Can't say. Not because I don't want to but because I don't know

I have a friend here now who wants to ask you a question, so if its rude, don't blame me... Rudolph: Is that your wife in that video that they keep showing on MTV -- you know, the blue-eyed lady with the big scarf around her body?

do you have an interest in other things than music?

Hobbes: Yeah shes my wife. I did not take me long to break into the music scene once I had deceided thats what I wanted to do.

You've achieved considerable success with your album, will your next album also have the soulful kind of music like Sunoh or is going to be different?

Lavanya: I like nature , I enjoy sports like swimmming , hiking and I love to travel.

Niharika: I think I'm going to grow with this experience I just hope that its as simple as Sunoh was .

Are tnere any Indian singers who have inspired your music? What do you think of the Indian pop stars ruling the Indian pop charts?

whom do you idealize in the music industry? that is if you do

Niharika: not necessarily although I hold much respect for some of the earlier singers in our very own film industry . Theres nothing really to think about in terms of Indian pop stars ruling Indian pop charts because thats what Indian pop stars aspire to do.

:)

Hey Lucky! Does your wife run around in wraps all the time? I mean does she have to wear a pardah?

Lavanya: I do not understand idolatry .

Hi Lucky. Are you going to be cutting another album soon? I can hardly wait.

I've heard that you live in New Zealand, where?

Sorry, I was busy working. Do you think you have achieved your destiny?

Do you have any kids?

Celestra: My wife enjoys dressing the way she does and it is her decision to wear the Hejab which she feels protects her individuality.

So what's the Lucky Lady's name?

Daniel: Not till I die would I have fulfillled anything.

Niharika: Henderson Auckland.

Celestra: Masooma.

I heard somewhere that you worked with Mahesh Mathai and Highlight on your O Sanam video. I think they did a great job. Whose idea was it to shoot the thing in egypt anyway? Very stark! A definite winner! :-P

well just someone whose music you are fond of but not necessarily 'copying' it or anything like that. it is more like what other muscians do you like to listen to or have admired?

The tunes seem to be from some particular family of music, but I don't seem to be able to remember the name of the style of music. Can you tell me?
