Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali is being sold by her father Rafiq Qureshi, who is demanding millions of rupees worth £200,000. The 9 year old sensation is being put up for adoption as Rafiq declared: “I have to consider what’s best for me, my family and Rubina’s future.” According to News Of The World:
Rafiq tried to blame Hollywood bosses for forcing him to put his daughter up for SALE.
As he tried to fix the illegal adoption deal, real-life slum dweller Rafiq declared: “We’ve got nothing out of this film.”
Then, almost embarrassed to speak it out loud, he whispered to an accomplice the price tag he has put on his innocent young daughter: “It’s £200,000!”
Dad Rafiq is desperate to cash in on their nine-year-old’s success in the blockbuster film by selling her to the highest bidder.
He sees it as his family’s escape route from the notorious Bandra slum sprawl of Mumbai.
Rafiq revealed his scheme to undercover News of the World reporters posing as a wealthy family from Dubai.
I hear an aging musician with a lot of money is in search for a new kid. Maybe someone should put Rubina’s father in touch with her.
