According to the British newspaper "World News" on February 19, this year, the British film "Slumdog Millionaire," filmed in the slums of Mumbai, India, swept eight Oscar awards in Hollywood. After returning to India, the child star of the movie, Rubina Ali from the slums, has become a "money tree" for her father Rafiq.
In an attempt to escape their life of poverty, Rafiq recently set a price tag of 200,000 pounds, hoping to sell his daughter to any wealthy person who wishes to adopt her. A journalist, posing as the wife of an Arab Sheikh, contacted Rafiq and uncovered this shocking secret.
The child star becomes a "money tree"
Many of the child actors in "Slumdog Millionaire" come from the slums of Mumbai. After the film won several Oscars, nine-year-old Rubina became a sought-after interviewee for paparazzi. However, Rubina and her family still live in the slums. Rubina's father, Rafiq, 36 years old, is a carpenter who is currently unemployed at home due to a leg fracture.
