In a sensational sting operation by newsoftheworld, the father of rubina ali child star of an oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire tries to encash her daughter's popularity by availing her for adoption in lieu of 200000.
According to the trusted sources rubina's father puts her adoption by a sheikh who in his eyes can afford better prospects for rubina's future.
As reported by the IBN Live news channel rubina's father denies the deal and told he was paid 1.5 lacs rupees from Slumdog Millionaire. He also revealed that he did not get the dues promised to him from the film Slumdog Millionaire (an apartment)
Nevertheless, question remains that plight of her girl child borned in slum will ever see an improvement?

This is highly putrid and shameful....this is what a child gets for being part of an oscar winning movie! Who knows what they would have done to the girl if it wasn't all fake! Its downright apalling to seee them sink so low🤢🤢🤢....Agreed they face a life of poverty and have deep desires to move out of their misery but this is NOT the way to do it🤢🤢🤢. I just hope someone child protection agency or something along those lines takes away this child because her own family doesn't seem to care much for her apart from the fact that they get to make big bucks off her! Sick.... I hope all the people that were cheering for Rubina when she came back from the oscars will still be there to stand for her in such circumstances! And God knows what these "dues" are that Danny or whoever still owes them...and its even harder to know who is saying the truth in all of this!!!!!🤢

well said..! it is disgusting..!! and Danny Boyle is not one of those people who back out of their words and so.. he has done quite a lot and i really do think that these guys are trying to take advantage of the situation.. greed is such a thing..
and in real life, many children are sold like this.. in fact, there is a huge market, so i wouldn't be surprised at all.. if people can't take responsibility of a child, then why do they have them in the first place.. it really makes me sick to see such things happen.. ugh.. 🤢

this is so sick. i cant even believe that a man would "sell" his child. what if he sold her into modern-day slavery? honestly, i think that someone should arrest this guy. you cant sell children. why havent the authorities arrested him? he is putting his child's life in danger. she should be taken away from this family. and from what i've read she doesnt like her step mother, correct? to make sure that the rest of his family his well taken care of, he could potentially be ruining his daughter's life. what a disgusting man. he should be kept behind bars for endangering a child.

Slumdog Millionaire star for 'sale' for 270,000 as her father tries to win his own fortune

The child star who won hearts across the world for her role in Slumdog Millionaire has been offered up for adoption by her father for 270,000.

Rubina Ali, who played the young Latika in the Oscar-winning film, has been put up for adoption by father Rafiq Qureshi - for a hefty asking price.

Rafiq is believed to be angry that his daughter has achieved global fame, but his family are still living in poverty.

Rubina, 9, is his 'ticket' out of the slums of Mumbai, say sources close to the family.

'Rubina's family are furious that despite the film doing so well and their pretty daughter becoming so famous, they are still living in such rough conditions,' said the source.

An undercover investigation by the News of the World discovered that Rafiq was offering Rubina to a wealthy Middle Eastern family.

When the deal fell through, the paper contacted the girl's family under the pretence of adopting her.

Rubina's uncle confirmed the family were interested in 'selling' the young star for millions of rupees.

'Yes, we are interested in securing our girl's future... Obviously if you wanted to adopt we could discuss this, but her parents would also expect some proper compensation in return,' he said.

Slumdog director Danny Boyle and producer Christian Colson have set up a fund for Rubina and her young co-star Azharuddin Ismail to give them a proper education, decent housing and support to cope with their fame.

The child stars have also each been given a luxury apartment in Kerala, south India, by the sound engineer who worked on the film.

But Rubina's father claims the family have seen nothing of the promised rewards.

'We haven't got anything yet, it's all supposed to come later,' he told the undercover reporter.

The family then offered Rubina for the price of 20million rupees - around 270,000.

Save the Children condemned the family's actions and urged the Indian government to sign up to the International Labour Organisation's convention to help abolish child labour and trafficking.
