If you have Dubai TV on during iftar in Ramadan, then you’ve definitely seen Ali doing his Doroub show. Or you may have been exposed to his work during his stint with Ask Ali. This week I sit with Ali to talk culture, traditions and ants eating private parts (you have to listen to understand!). A great spirited conversation with a thoughtful man!
