In a recent interview with ETimes, Lucky Ali opened up about his urge to wander around and move from one city to another. However, talking about the time of his father's demise, Lucky revealed that he felt like a stranger in the known city and wanted to move out of Mumbai for the same reason. He said:
"I am not a person who stays at one place for a very long time. I need to move around, I need to wander, otherwise, I feel like I am stagnating. But when dad (veteran actor Mehmood) passed away, I realised that I, too, wanted to go away from here, because I felt that I did not belong here. I felt like a stranger in the crowd. I knew many people here, yet I felt like a stranger."
For the unversed, Mehmood had taken his last breath in his sleep in 2004 at the age of 77. He had died in Pennsylvania, in the US. He was one of a kind actor that Bollywood had ever seen. However, the legendary actor was seeking medical treatment in the US at that time. Mehmood has worked in over 300-films in his whole acting career.

Going further in the conversation, Lucky Ali mentioned his current life in Bengaluru. He spoke about how he sometimes feels like moving out of Bengaluru too. However, he shared that there's still a Bombayness in him and said:
"I felt the need to go. Sometimes I feel like that in Bengaluru too. When I feel the energy is dissipated, then I feel like moving away from there as well. I love Mumbai. It is just that the responsibilities that my parents left for me, took me to Bengaluru. I do visit Mumbai often, and I still have my 'Bombayness' in me. I watch the sea, I love going to Carter Road and Nepean Sea Road and all those places that I grew up around. For me, it is like returning home. Mumbai is like a mother to me. So, yes, Mumbai is my maika (mother's home) and I am Mumbai's mai ka lal (mother's son)!"
