Hottie of the week: Ali Ansari

Status: Single

Born: Lahore, Pakistan

Birthday: 8th September, 1987

Who is he?

There is something so endearing about Ali Ansari the sparkly kind eyes, immaculately spiked hair and ear piercing that we can’t help but want to pinch his cheeks every time we see him. The golden boy of the Pakistani media, Ali moved from Saudi Arabia to Karachi back in 2005 and landed a job as a host for the hit radio show ‘Dude, where’s my song?’ Soon after, his urban boyish charm and contemporary attitude helped him pave his way up the media circuit and straight into our hearts as he successfully went from smooth-talking radio jockey to talk show host for several local channels. Ali is also a trained drummer and has played live for many bands before finally realising his passion for hip-hop music.  Let’s just say that this is one multitalented youngster to watch out for!

Why we love him

With a face like that, what’s not to love? Ali loves to work out and stay fit, almost to a fanatical level! He hits the gym regularly and spends much of his free time indulging in a variety of sports, especially cricket. A daredevil at heart, Ali’s idea of the perfect adventure would be something ‘Man vs. Wild’ style in Brazil, Spain or perhaps, the Caribbean islands. A jack of all trades, Ali holds a degree in Economics and Finance and says he would have been working as a banker, if not in the media.

Fortunately for his fans, Ali’s energetic and nice guy persona makes him as pleasing behind the mic as he is on screen and now, eight years into his career, Ali has carved himself a permanent spot in our hearts.  He believes in the mantra ‘If you do not have any haters, you must be doing something wrong,’ i.e. While his experiences in his professional and private life serve as inspirations for his music and talk shows, Ali loves his family and maintains a healthy private life as much as he can — to the extent that he enjoys hanging out at his friends’ homes more than outdoors. Really, can this boy get any sweeter?

What you didn’t know about him

For ladies who relish the idea of a man who knows his way around the kitchen, Ali is currently learning how to cook! His favourite cuisine is Chinese.

A musician and softie at heart, Ali resorts to penning lyrics to express what he is feeling and these often materialize into full fledged songs.

Ali loves to work out and loves a girl who is equally proficient in the gym. So girls, it’s time to break a sweat and go after both, Ali and that fabulous figure you have always wanted!
