New Homes For Two Slumdog Child Actors!

Hooray!
Rubina Ali and Azhar Ismail, two ‘real life’ slum kids who played the ‘younger’ version of Slumdog Millionaire‘s central characters, have been gifted with new family homes by the Indian government.
A government official said, “These two children have brought laurels to the country, and we have been told that they live in slums, which cannot even be classified as housing.”
On Tuesday, we mentioned that the movies’ producers were setting up professionally managed trusts for the child actors so they wouldn’t have to live a life of squalor any more.
We’re glad that the movie has brought good fortune to little Rubina and Azhar!
