Lucky and Mohamed Morani
Lucky and Mohamed Morani are one of those couples that some might envy. Not in a bad way; just because they seem to have found the magical and inexplicable je ne sais quoi that adds up to a happy married life together.
They are celebrities that downplay their celebrity status. The force behind one of the most successful event management companies in India, Cineyug Production, Mohamed, and his brother, Ali Morani, promote Bollywood around the globe. They both also produce films.
From the inception to completion, Cineyug is an umbrella group that manages every aspect of film, television, event production; from set design, camera work, stage work, direction, scripting to production, this production company covers all aspects of the entertainment industry. Their fireworks division is the foremost in India and has provided spectacular visuals for over five thousand events in the past five decades.
ShaadiTimes catches up Lucky and Mohamed Morani just as they launch their Rock Stars 2006, a whirlwind concert in eighteen cities in the UK, US and Canada, Starring Salman Khan, John Abraham, Zayed Khan, Esha Deol, Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Mallika Sherawat, to name a few.
College sweethearts, Lucky and Mohamed, have known each other from their teens. "We were really good friends in college but not romantically involved. Mohamed had to approach my sister to get to me," she remembers. "He was initially shy. What I admired about Mohamed was that he was ambitious, hard-working. He had a drive to achieve and that was something I have always respected in him," she admits.
Mohamed adds, "The important thing in a marriage is not just living together... it's how you love together." He continues, "Lucky and I have a one-to-one, where we trust each other implicitly. That is the key to success in our marriage. First of all, in our events, business and film production, it requires constant travel." Lucky agrees, "We both try to do as much as we can together without getting into each other's space."
"If either a husband or wife are in bad company, you have to try and put them on proper lines. You just can't throw either the husband or the wife out," says Mohamed.
"Trust is also important," says Lucky. "It's very difficult to regain the trust once you've lost it," says Mohamed. "Faith trust, and being there for each other," agrees Lucky and they both laugh.
Although Mohamed and Lucky can be found on Page 3 and have an active social life, they both believe in family and spend a lot of time with their sons, Azar and Alam, both in their teens. Lucky is the heart and soul of her house, which she runs efficiently and represents memories from their travels. The décor is Mediterranean / Indian and the vibrations are soothing. Lucky is also Mohamed's business advisor. In other words, behind every successful man is a woman. She is instinctive, has sound business acumen and oversees the daily business requirements for the different divisions which include events, films and television production.
