Abbas Ali worked in films for around 18 years and his song ‘Chui Mui Si Tum Lagti Ho…’ with Preeti Jhingyani was a huge hit.
As long as Abbas’s films were doing good business at the box-office, there was no problem, but then his films started failing and he started losing many good projects. The failure of some films forced Abbas to leave the film industry.
In an interview Abbas has once said in an interview that after quitting India he left India and shifted to New Zealand. He revealed he had come here with the family and was trying to settle in the new life. He worked at a petrol station, where washed bathrooms.
