Shame! This is to show you how much they care about themselves and the money they could possibly get from their own children. It's absolutely unacceptable and sad to know these kids are far from being loved.
Slumdog Millionaire
Last week the house of Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail (young Salim) was demolished by the government and today it was the turn of Rubina (the little girl). They demolished it because they were "illegally built". So these two kids and their families are now living literally in the streets.

Producers are expected to spend $100,000 on the new abodes. However, tensions quickly boiled over in the meeting as Ali's father, Rafiq Quereshi, the same man accused and cleared last month of attempting to sell his daughter, stormed out, saying he was fed up with waiting.
