Not just a former English beauty queen and an actress, Kate Elizabeth Hallam is also a loving wife to Lucky Ali and doting mother to their 6-year-old son Dani. In conversation with TLJ, she talks about marriage, motherhood, faith and her love for music and Indian culture.
It has been a great journey. Apart from winning the Miss England title, I also won Face of Aintree Races 2004,which was the biggest and most prestigious competition in the UK for me because I won a brand new Jaguar X-Type Estate car worth Rs 25 lakh. In those days too, you could cash in a lot of money through your style, grace and elegance.
How was the experience of participating in Miss England?
Miss England like various other beauty pageants is a great platform for young girls. I made some wonderful friends and had great time competing with other contestants.
Changing religion is a big decision, how did you reach this decision? What inspired you to convert to Islam?
I am a big believer that religion divides and faith unites. I also don’t like to talk about religion as everyone has a different viewpoint on it. I know what I have in me, and that helps me to live my life, and I know how to use the power of prayer to overcome obstacles if they come my way.
What changes did you have to make in your life after converting to Islam?
I have always been myself. I have never changed who I am.
