Aiesha Ali, née Kate Hallam, 27, is a former Miss England, who now lives in Bengaluru with her husband, famous singer Lucky Ali. This is the tale of Dani, their nine-month-old blue-boyed boy, whose happy chuckles are ample evidence that mommy and daddy, although from such diverse parts of the world, are doing things right together...

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KATE
Kate Hallam had an idyllic childhood growing up in Buxton, a simple country town in Derbyshire, UK, surrounded by hills, forests and farmland. “It’s a friendly place where everybody knows everybody,” she smiles. This sunny personality was perhaps instrumental in making her Miss Great Britain in 2003 and Miss England in 2005. In addition to her stunning looks, of course. Not a surprise for someone who took home the gold trophy in a bonniest baby competition on holiday in Ireland when she was all of three, as she was the most chatty and smiley little baby there.
