The World's most famous film last 2008, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, has achieved great heights in the media industry after receiving EIGHT OSCAR AWARDS.
The story was about a boy from the slums who was destined to be a Millionaire. When he joined the known WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE in Mumbai, each question was relative to his life story.
But did you know that two of the child actors in the film are suffering from poverty in real life?
The older brother of JAMAL in the film was played by the 11-year old child named Azharuddin Ismail. Her younger sister Rubina Ali, 9 years old, was portraying the child version love interest of Jamal named Latika.
After the global fame Slumdog Millionaire achieved, the family of the child talent was promised to be rehoused and be kept out from the slums. But then this remained a promise until their house shattered after the Mumbai authorities tore it down in preparation for the upcoming Monsoon Rains.
With this disaster happening to their family, Azharuddin's mother, Shamim Ismail uttered,"They came and destroyed the house when my son was sleeping. Now we don't have any place to go so we're sitting here right now with our belongings. I hope someone from the government will help us." She added, "We were promised that we will get a government flat but we have still not got anything yet."
Despite the ugly scenario happening to Azhar, he remained playful and innocent. He was seen playing with chickens when television crews were watching.
See how JUSTICE was not served in this simple situation. Stardom is not everything...
Especially in India!
