Ali is the 2nd of the 8th children of Bollywood actor, Mehmood Ali. His mom Mahelaka was part Bengali and part Pashtun, and the sister of 1960s Indian actress Meena Kumari.

Ali and his father shared a fierce relationship. Mehmood Ali was a very active actor in the 1960s and 70s and stayed out from home for his offshoots. Once, around the age of 4 when Ali first returned from boarding school, Mehmood and the whole family had come to welcome Ali after 10 months in boarding school, at the airport. Ali did not remember his dad, but on noticing him said, “He’s the movie comedian Mehmood!” Ali lived away from his home in a boarding school in Dehradun, Mussoorie. Ali’s fling with marijuana ushered Mehmood to pen the movie Dushman Duniya Ka (Enemy of the World). The movie stars Ali’s youngest brother, Manzoor. It is the story of the drug misuse of an immature guy called Lucky. In the end, the young man slays his mom, annihilates everything around him, and is then slain by his dad. Ali varied with his father’s picture and did not act in the movie. “I felt the novel lacked hope,” he said. Regardless, he sang his first music for the movie.
