Lulu Mall owner MA Yusuf Ali gifts Rs.2 lakh Rado watch to fan. Reason will melt your heart
In July 2024, Effin M, a devoted fan of Lulu Group chairman MA Yusuff Ali, gifted him a deeply personal and heartfelt present: a watch featuring a photograph of Ali’s late mother. In a heartwarming twist, Yusuff Ali decided to reciprocate the kindness. He gifted Effin M a luxurious Rado watch valued at ₹2 lakh. The surprise was shared by Effin M on social media, showing him receiving the watch during a visit to the Lulu Group headquarters in Kochi.
This touching tribute was inspired by a video where Ali spoke movingly about his love for his mother. Effin M explained his choice by saying, “I saw a video of you speaking about your mother and how much you love her.” Yusuff Ali, visibly moved, humbly responded, “Everyone loves their mothers, it’s not just me. Who in the world does not love their mother?”
The gift was not just a watch but a waterproof one with an engraving of Ali’s mother, adding a sentimental touch to the gesture. The watch became a poignant reminder of Ali’s parents, who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2001 while traveling from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.
The video captures the moment of exchange and highlights Ali’s thoughtful gesture, including the Rado watch’s custom “Y” inscription. Effin M’s post read, “Surprise from Yusuff Ali, sir,” reflecting the mutual appreciation and respect between the two.
