Beggars can’t be choosers!
Someone should tell that to the families of the Slumdog Millionaire child stars.
The makers of the flick organized the Jai Ho Trust to help the child stars with a monthly allowance, a lump sum payment after they graduate, new homes, and so much more.
A few days ago we told you how both 11-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and 9-year-old Rubina Ali were at risk of losing their monthly allowance for skipping school too much!
And now director Danny Boyle is getting fed up with new and greedy requests from the kids’ families.
According to reports, Boyle flew to India to meet with the organizers of the Jai Ho Trust to go over the families’ new demands requests.
It seems they now want more money and extra luxuries. Azharuddin’s family wants a car for his relatives while Rubina’s family wants an extra $48,000 in addition to the $80,000 they already received for an apartment.
However, Boyle is said to have ended the negotiations and headed back home.
A rep for the charity says Boyle “is tired, really tired. The demands are now skyrocketing. Danny is tired, Danny is frustrated at these demands and has left (India) for England. He is very, very upset.”
Sad. Instead of asking for so much, why don’t they ask for a financial adviser to teach them how to save, invest, and wisely spend their kids’ money?!
