Slumdog Girl’s Father Denies Trying To Sell Her
The father of the child star from the multiple Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire Rubina Ali has denied a report by celebrity gossip site News Of The World that he was trying to sell his daughter to the highest bidder.
Indian police are investigating allegations that Rubina’s father, Rafiq Qureshi had planned to put Rubina up for adoption for US$400,000 to an undercover reporter posing as a wealthy middle-eastern man.
Qureshi was quoted as saying, “We are considering Rubina’s future. We’ve got nothing out of this film. They haven’t looked after us. They gave some money at the start, but they gave nothing afterwards. They gave us around 150,000 rupees (£2,000). They’ve been talking about giving us a house, but all they do is talk.”
The AP reported that the Slumdog Millionaire filmmakers had set up a trust fund for the two child actors that was supposed to provide them with a good education, adequate housing and social support. Last week, they also donated $747,500 to a charity devoted to improving the lives of street children in Mumbai.
Umm…maybe he should blame the Indian government for spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their space and defence programmes instead of improving the lives of Indians.
